Just as it is incumbent upon every son to defend his mother and father from spurious insults, it is every Catholic’s duty to defend Holy Mother Church and her visible head on Earth, the Holy Father.
In that regard, an ongoing project of this blog has been refuting the steady stream of calumnies against Pope Francis.
Because people who should know better – i.e., those who rightly call “Fake news!” on hit pieces aimed at Donald Trump – keep suffering bouts of Gell-Mann Amnesia, a comprehensive approach was needed.
Enter YouTuber Frank Aurelio and theology student extraordinaire Pinesap. This past Friday, they streamed a robust point-by-point refutation of every anti-Francis zombie meme.
If you still think the Holy Father is a heretic, illegitimate, or “Teh worse Pope evar!!!1!!” or if you want silver bullet arguments to refute such slander, watch this:
Tl; dw: Every single one of the supposedly disqualifying quotes or actions allegedly made by Pope Francis was taken out of context, based on a mistranslation, or based on conflating “heresy” with “comments that disagree with my personal political takes.”
What everyone needs to realize is that religion is not politics, and imposing the American “Red Team vs Blue Team” frame on the Church is a category error. It will not help anyone understand anything.
Look, I get it. The Death Cult’s narrative is so all-encompassing, it’s easy to get sucked into the 24-hour news cycle.
But you can break free. And have fun while you’re at it.
