Way to Pachamama paved by John Paul II

Long before the Amazon Synod and the Pachamama, this canonized Pope made the synod possible:
"If you see me traveling the length and breadth of the whole world in my efforts to meet with people of all civilizations and religions, it is because I have faith in the seeds of wisdom which the Spirit has planted in the conscience of all these various peoples, tribes and clans; from these hidden grains will come the true resource for the future of mankind in this world of ours."
