In a single day, November 7, Pope Leo XIV appointed three bishops linked to controversial religious rites and associations. One bishop's consecration was preceded by an animist ceremony described as an evocation of spirits.
Another had presided over a Eucharist preceded by indigenous rituals and participated in a synodal gathering featuring Pachamama imagery.
The third had Communist Party officials and representatives of Masonic lodges in attendance at his episcopal installation.
