Syncretist Revisionism Whitewashes Conquest: EWTN Platforms “Dialogue” Myth Over Supernatural Mission in Peru
The EWTN/National Catholic Register portal reports on Peruvian researcher Rafael Aíta, author of The Catholic Incas, who advances the thesis that the evangelization of the Inca Empire was not an imposition but a “negotiation” and “convergence” between Inca cosmology and Christianity. Aíta claims the Inca nobility voluntarily embraced the Faith, citing the founding of the San Cristóbal parish by an Inca prince and the Corpus Christi procession imagery where an Inca standard-bearer allegedly places the imperial tassel before the Blessed Sacrament, interpreting the “Eucharistic Sun” as the fulfillment of solar worship. He concludes that Catholicism endures in Peru because it is “part of our roots,” not by imposition, otherwise it would have vanished with the Spaniards. This narrative, amplified by the conciliar media apparatus, constitutes a naturalistic falsification of the missionary mandate, replacing the missio ad gentes ordained by Christ (Matt. 28:19-20) with a Masonic dialogue of religions.
