The day the Pope met a psychedelic evangelist
The pope met an emissary from the psychedelic world at a “holy meeting” at the Vatican, where a Jesuit lawyer named Brian Muraresku presented Pope Francis with a manifesto for a psychedelic “New Reformation.”
Pope Francis accepted a copy of Muraresku’s 2020 book The Immortality Key at the meeting, which took place in late 2021 or early 2022. The book argues that psychedelics might rescue a “dying faith” and save Western civilization… Western civilization, Muraresku argues, is in the grip of a cataclysmic “spiritual crisis” that can be remedied only through… the result of retrieving what he says are the Eucharist’s ancient, and until now secret, pharmacological roots… while it’s not clear whether Pope Francis has actually read Muraresku’s book, the Vatican did recently host a psychedelic conference.
