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

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 can't complain about the new Pope warning about AI. It is indeed a
problem and going to become more so in the next few years. It's bad
enough that screens and social media have made our kids anxious,
unmotivated, depressed and often suicidal, AI is also exacerbating their
intellectual laziness.
 

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.

 
As long as there is a good chance you're voting for the left, you can be
a pedophile, you can advocate for abortion, you can be an obvious guy
pretending to be a woman and you can preach death to whoever. However,
if you're an honest family man who works a steady job, pays his taxes,
follows the law, goes to church, loves his wife and kids but _might_
vote for the right, you need to have your life destroyed or be killed.

But I will say this:

   You poor, poor, White-supremacist victim.
