2/otherwise it becomes promo, a fundraising tool, a firm of walking in dishonesty-not truth. #Catholicchurch #VaticanOptics #Synod

Lol. I have been pointing out for more than a decade on social media that the #Vatican avails itself of the best advertising, public relations expertise money can buy; I rest my case! They scored a “spot” from “the Grey Lady”! CatholicChurch #Jesuits #Catholic #VaticanOptics #VichyCatholics #NYT

lol! They fell for the #VaticanOptics .

Lol. #Vaticanoptics !

5/Legit secular “newspapers” of record & progressive public political experts are playing into the hands of the PR experts / Comms teams of the male supremacist, largely pro-#Project2025, #USCCB / #USBishops who got duped by the dictator. #CatholicChurch #VaticanOptics #Immigration #AbolishICE

The #VaticanOptics is really working. T Rump has been the #USCCB ‘s guy for 3 successive elections. I hope this strategy works, but the US Bishops’ performance is also part buyer’s remorse & reputation scrub. #CatholicChurch

2/These efforts are both legit efforts to correct, do the right thing etc. —AND reputation scrub. These priests are
members of the clerical hierarchy that overturned Roe, fought Marriage equality & supported t Rump & Project 2025. #CatholicChurch #ICE #VaticanOptics

oops!

Louisiana lawmakers reject adding exceptions for some rape cases to abortion ban - WTOP News BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — For the third consecutive year, Louisiana lawmakers rejected a bill that would have allowed young victims of rape to get an abortion. In an emotional and religious-laced…

1/ The same cabal who are currently whining about t Rump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” did this: #USCCB #USBishops ⬇️Don’t let the #VaticanOptics fool you or walk it back w/o resolving public to sin more more. Collaborating w/fascists under the guise > #VaticanCrimeSyndicate wtop.com/national/202...

Nice, but don’t let the #VaticanOptics mask Pope Francis ‘s full support/upholding of #transphobic magisterial (official) teaching.

I deeply appreciated Francis’s messaging on greed, wealth, throwaway culture — but the ‘he died w/a $100’ PR is disturbing. He had a safety net, top medical care, all of his heat, hot water, housekeeping & admin. needs met & no mouths to feed. I think he’s have disapproved of these #VaticanOptics .

1/ When the time is right i’ll have much more to say about Pope Francis & his legacy, but what I’m noticing today as watch TV news & look at social media is the stunning efficacy of the #VaticanOptics publicity machine ( Bells of St. Mary factor in full effect) the naievete of so many “experts” >

3/NB one of the favorite #VaticanOptics maneuvers: good cop, bad cop. Broglio (President of USCCB) is a #Christofascist; Seitz is oft praised for caring about migrants on a mature spiritual level. This is precisely the kind of compromise that gave us a dictator.

3/Also Broglio et al knew what Drumpf would do w/migrants /asylum seekers when he threw down w/ Drumpf & #Project2025 . Drumpf played Broglio & the US bishops. #VaticanOptics

11/neofascist Ronan Catholics. I hope the American public learns to better discern in this regard. Many seem to be falling for the Bells of St. Mary PR strategy. Again. #VaticanOptics

I don’t believe this is true. Would love to be wrong. #VaticanOptics
