The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano publishes a monthly supplement titled Women-Church-World. The November issue is dedicated to the theme 'Daughters of Mother Earth' and features an image of Pachamama on the cover. A November 15 interview presents Sister Adele Howard of the Sisters of Mercy from Australia.
The introduction repeatedly uses the expression “Mother Earth”, describing the planet as a nurturing reality and claiming that “in the Earth there is the breath of the Creator God”. Humans “have within us the keys to connect with our mother.”
Sister Howard states that “through nature, God fills us with vital energy.”
Indigenous people are presented as models because they “perceive the sacredness of the Earth” and are "great masters."
After spending forty years among indigenous people, Sister Howard says that she can now "feel the whispers of Creation, its tears, which are the same as those of the poor".
She recounts meeting an Aboriginal elder at a waterhole who told her: "He is here," identifying the presence as "the Rainbow Serpent" without offering any further clarification.
Sister Howard adds that “Aboriginal people communicate with creation through dreams,” describing this as an essential part of their relationship with the land, sky, rivers, and oceans.
She calls on the Church to "lead people to understand that we are destroying God's gift of creation."
When asked where she finds the strength to continue, Sister Howard offers the puzzling reply:
"In the Risen Jesus. The Resurrection is energy. It constantly regenerates itself."
