It’s not just the San Francisco archdiocese pumping out pagan pantheism instead of authentic Catholicism. The web site of the Diocese of Brooklyn’s school superintendent includes a series of prayer services, including one that has a different version of the SF prayer to the four compass points. The rot is much wider and deeper than most people suspect.
[Hat tip to Desiderus]
The prayer service for Autumn was kind of weird, too. Very earth-centered and us-centered. God wasn’t really very essential to that prayer at all. Just thrown in for good measure maybe.
What about this one posted recently at MSA?

My whole being sings
with joy and awe because in God
I have found release.
She who is destructor
as well as life-giver
has chosen to speak
in the depths of my soul
and the souls of women
and men throughout time ….
She shows the love of
a mother, the wisdom and
guidance of a father. …
….She reaches out to
protect those
who acknowledge her,
My God has shown herself
as more powerful than the might
of Satan and all his princes;
And Holy is her name.
Her mercy calls out
to all who listen.
Her power resounds in thunder
and lightning and her beauty
is reflected in the sun,
moon and stars.

Just wondering
Sounds like a pagan/feminist rendition of Mary’s Magnificat…yuck.
Sounds like a prayer to Shiva the Destroyer to me.
