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.

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.

Can't argue with you there. It's going to be dangerous on the roads if they
actually allow these driverless trucks on the highways. Not to mention a lot
of other issues.

As for Pope Leo XIV, there's rumors (hopefully true) that he says the
Traditional Latin Mass regularly and even had Pope Francis' permission
(indult) to say them in a smaller Vatican chapel.

If true, that's good news. But all the "news" seems to go back to one
source. Someone named Patrick Coffin, so I'll have to wait and see if there
is any truth to the rumor.

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.

True.
