A Vatican representative and two bishops participated in a Pachamama ritual in Peru, preparing for Pope Leo XIV's visit with cocoa leaves, food offerings, and an altar to Mother Earth. Meanwhile, the Pope appointed historian Umberto Longo, identified as a ninth-degree Freemason, to the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences. The Faith & Reason panel argues these developments are evidence of infiltration and a departure from traditional Catholic teaching.

The Church has historically condemned both Freemasonry and pagan worship. Yet under Pope Leo XIV, both are being tolerated, even celebrated. The contrast with traditional Catholics is stark: the Fraternity of Saint Peter has been blocked from administering traditional confirmations in Seattle, SSPX activities have been banned at Lourdes, and a San Antonio priest was laicized for questioning recent popes.

The hosts frame these contradictions as a crisis of confusion and conflict within the Church. Traditional practices are restricted while pagan rituals and Masonic appointments are normalized. The faithful are left to wonder what the Church is becoming—and whether those who defend the faith will be the next to be silenced. The panel ends on a hopeful note, urging sound catechesis, fidelity to Church teaching, and trust in the eventual triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The crisis is real. The response is fidelity. And the victory is certain.
