Conocoto was the Augustinian workshop for this new religion
Prevost’s Augustinian Creed: “We Believe in God, Mother of Life”
Conocoto was a 1993 gathering of Augustinians in Ecuador under the umbrella of the Organization of Augustinians in Latin America, or OALA. It was presented as a moment of renewal for the order in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its organizers spoke of the “Spirit of Conocoto” as a new model of Augustinian life marked by participation, synodality, liberationist concerns, and social transformation. In plain English, it was one of those postconciliar workshops where Catholic language remained on the surface while the underlying framework shifted toward process, activism, and ideological reconstruction.

Hiraeth In Exile: The photos from Catholic Conclave show this was not some obscure footnote or one-off experiment. The movement generated texts, slogans, follow-up meetings, and even its own creed.
The first two images match an official OALA anniversary document marking thirty years since Conocoto. That document describes the 1993 meeting as shaped by “Augustinian synodality” and says the “Spirit of Conocoto” was a spirit of reflection, conversion, reconciliation, prophecy, communion, and participation. Then it reproduces the young Augustinians’ creed, including the astonishing line, “We believe in God Father and Mother of Life.”
In the official "Conocoto" document, a photograph of Robert Prevost appears at the very end—dating from 1993, when he participated in "Mini-Conocoto" in Bogotá, Colombia, as a member of the "Group of Formators"; beneath the photo appears the caption: "Formators attending the Bogotá '93 gathering." And above the photo appears the title: "Meeting of Formators."

To implement the modernist heresies of Vatican II the heretical Organization of Augustinians of Latin America (OALA) was formally founded in 1968.
To place in context this Marxist revolution in Latin America—which promoted indigenous paganism—God and the Church came under attack, as they were viewed as the oppressors; conversely, the oppressed—whom they termed "the poor," "the people," and "indigenous pagan culture"—became the central focus. This movement drew its foundation from the General Conferences held in Medellín (1968), Puebla (1979), Santo Domingo (1992), and the most recent one, held in Aparecida (2007).
There is a direct connection between Prevost's OALA in Peru and the heretical ideological influence of the Marxist Gustavo Gutiérrez.
The OALA newsletter featured accounts of the "Post-Conocoto" experiences in Peru; one of the participating "Augustinians"—Carlos Morales, a Marxist infiltrator within the Order of Saint Augustine—specifically addresses his "theological" studies concerning the Marxist heretic Gustavo Gutiérrez, and coins the term "Conocotization of the Vicariate."

Peru was a laboratory for leftist, Third Worldist priests to implement the heretical Vatican II – Gloria.tv
Augustinian order: "A substantial change to the Order's Constitutions was the revision undertaken at the General Chapter held in Villanova (USA) in 1968—during the generalate of Fr. Agostino Trapè—in order to bring them into alignment with the directives of the Second Vatican Council.
....
Since that date, four new editions have been produced to incorporate modifications introduced by successive General Chapters. These editions were issued under the leadership of Teodoro Tack in 1977; Miguel Ángel Orcasitas in 1990 (following the 1983 reform of the Code of Canon Law); Robert Prevost in 2002; and Robert Prevost again in 2008 (following a thorough revision of the Constitutions).
It is striking that, whereas the Constitutions of Regensburg remained in force for nearly three centuries, four new editions have been produced in the mere forty years since 1968. However, there is a specific explanation for this.
Our Order enjoys the privilege of implementing modifications to its Constitutions within the very General Chapter that approves them, without the need to seek recourse from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CIVCSVA).
It is required to communicate these changes to the Holy See only *ex post facto*.
