In the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Superior, Wisconsin, USA, a shamanic ritual was conducted at the beginning of the mass.

A video of the mass was posted on the diocese's YouTube channel, featuring a group of women dressed in traditional Native American clothing and holding feathers in their hands dancing around the altar.

Their dance is accompanied by the singing of a shaman, who beats a drum while standing on the priest's lectern.

After the shaman finished singing, organ music sounded in the church, and the mass began.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that a "catechesis" of the pagan deity Pachamama was conducted in the Vatican.

Louis Lazarus emphasized that the persecution of believers in Chernivtsi infringes on the interests of the Romanian minority in Ukraine.

A group of militants assaulted three clergymen of the UOC near the fence of the Holy Spirit Cathedral.

Catherine Whiteford emphasized that UOC persecution by the authorities is clearly destroying the country from within and weakening it in wartime.

Bodoriak claimed that the militants who beat UOC priests in the Chernivtsi cathedral are not parishioners of the OCU.

Bodoriak asserted that the Holy Spirit Cathedral of the UOC in Chernivtsi belongs to the OCU.

The Ecumenical Patriarch expressed hope that under the new Pope, relations with the Catholic Church would continue to grow in truth and love.
