An Indian Chief becomes a Deacon in Brazil

On January 8, 2021, Bishop Bernardo Johannes Bahlmann of Obidos, State of Para, Brazil, installed Indian chief Tito Meri as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist, Baptism and Marriage. The ceremony took place in St. Anthony of Padua parish church in the city of Oriximina.

Tito Meri is the ninth Indian extraordinary minister. The eight previous ones were made in December 2020. Let us stress that these ministers are invested with the power of giving Communion – no one knows the respect that will be shown to the Holy Sacrament in their tribes – and also of celebrating marriages.

Francis said in Querida Amazonia: “I dream of Christian communities capable of generous commitment, incarnate in the Amazon region, and giving the Church new faces with Amazonian features.”

If the Conciliar Church can hardly be considered as carrying on the teaching and morals of the Catholic Church, what can be said about Francis’ Tribalist Church? It seems there is no longer any doubt that the latter is not Catholic.
