Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation
Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.
Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:
βThe ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. Thatβs what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

I'm so tired of him. I'm tired of people pretending he's not an idiot. I'm tired of immorality and cruelty. I'm tired of his inability to say anything kind or intelligent. I'm tired of his drama and chaos. I'm tired of his face. I'm tired of his voice
