Personally, nothing. I was raised an atheist. Perhaps one can view atheism as the final stage of the Reformation. I would be comfortable with that. But work ethic? I prefer festival cultures.
What is disunity but the splitting of a group of people?Not internally. Luther and the Two Popes led to a split of organization.
Well, in my opinion the Catholic Church is completely corrupt bunch of hoary old pedophiles. It needs to be broken up just as much as Facebook and Amazon.Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that this Pope is incredibly divisive.
You actually miss the point. Syncretism starts from below, not from above. The penetration of pre-Colombian mother goddesses into Catholicism began back in the 16th century, when Catholicism was introduced to the Americas. Francis merely acceded to something that has been happening in South America, and the Spanish dominated parts of North America for half a millennium.Which is why it created such a scandal for the devouted members?Plus, Catholicism has survived for centuries through syncretism. This is why Francis' incorporation of Pachamama is just par for the course.
Plus, "syncretism" is a centuries long process, not a "shock" political maneuver.
I give you Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (Coatlaxopeuh):
