Probably right, but I think InfoWars is pretty much anti-Catholic anyhow. So
I'll wait and see before rushing to judgement.

I don't believe that Alex Jones is anti-anything except anti-tyranny. I
know that he's had a Vatican expert on the show on numerous occasions to
reveal some of the less pleasant things about it though. Of course, we
all benefit from learning the Vatican's dark secrets.

 
I'm not against learning about "Vatican's dark secrets," so long as it also
acknowledged that Protestantism and Judaism have just as bad or even worse
problems along this line. But it's usually not presented that way. It's
usually produced in a way to make Catholics the outliers, and ignore that
the Protestant churches and Orthodox Jews have very serious issues also.
 
That said, Catholics are members of the one, true and holy Church and should
be held to a higher standard — but they aren't unique in their sins when
compared to other religions.

I see it the same way but I have to admit that the Vatican isn't doing
itself any favours by electing Popes who compromise on the traditional
beliefs.

No argument there. Instead of talking about the Gospel, the first thing this
new pope is talking about is the dangers of AI. While I personally think AI
is crap, shouldn't the pope's primary concern be for the salvation of souls?
Although, I guess, he is trying to tie the AI crap in with the social
teaching of Leo XIII (his namesake). Except Leo XIII lived in an era where
the traditional teaching of the Church was the norm, so he didn't have to
address the issue. Not the case now.

I'm not a big fan of Alex Jones. His whole show seems to be a platform to
hawk crap. A "patriot" for profit.

I bought some stuff from him and it's honestly good quality stuff. He
does it because he needs to sustain himself now that the traditional
platforms have made it impossible for him to make money.

The last time I saw Alex Jones doing his show, InfoWars was still going
strong (several years ago). He was already often interrupting himself to
hawk something. That said, I'm not in favor of all the crap they're doing to
him either — typical hypocrisy from the Woke mob.
