Pope Francis closed off his visit to Mexico with the ultimate nod of approval to the blending of Catholic teachings with indigenous Mexican spiritual traditions.
Donning a Santa Muerta costume, he climbed to the top of a Mayan pyramid to preside over the sacrifice of a hundred odd captives.
Though one might expect this gesture to have been wholeheartedly received by all Mexicans, local Mayans were leery of its ramifications.
Said one: "I'm sure His Holiness meant well initially, but look at the victims he chose! Drug cartel kingpins, Trump Republicans, telemarketers, Kanye West, Justin Bieber-- when those characters reach the underworld, the gods are really going to be pissed at us!"
