\u201cA man has told of how he smashed his way out of a coffin after being buried alive by festival goers ‘as a sacrifice to mother earth’ when he passed out while drinking in Bolivia.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter passing out the night before following a heavy drinking session at the opening of the Mother Earth Festival in El Alto, Bolivia, on 5 August, V\u00edctor Hugo Mica Alvarez, 30, found himself 50 miles away inside a casket in Achacachi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mother Earth Festival sees people giving thanks to Pachamama, the goddess of earth and fertility, where they give offerings, also known as a ‘sullu’, to the planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndigenous Bolivians believe the goddess ‘opens her mouth’ for offerings in August, and many will give anything from live animals to sheep foetuses, as well as cocoa leaves and sweets.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     That goddess, Pachamama\u2026 it sounds familiar. Oh\u2026 oh my<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn his new exhortation released today on the Amazon Synod, Pope Francis made statements about \u2018indigenous\u2019 symbols and \u2018certain religious practices\u2019 that could be interpreted as a defense of the use of the controversial \u2018Pachamama\u2019 statues during the synod in Rome last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn section 78 of Querida Amazonia, Pope Francis states that people should \u2018not be quick to describe as superstition or paganism certain religious practices that arise spontaneously from the life of peoples.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Maybe, juuust maybe, there was something positive about the entire \u201cconquistador\u201d thing after all.<\/p>\n
