Leo XIV Decries Fake News on Social Media

At a reception for 200 bishops ordained last year on September 11, Pope Leo XIV urged caution regarding fake news on social media. According to the Pope, there is a danger that “everyone feels entitled to say whatever they want, even if it is false.”

In serious cases, the bishops should consult so-called communication experts.

Leo XIV's rule for dealing with problems on the internet: “Stay calm, keep a clear head, and seek professional help.”

The leader of the Conciliar Vatican II religion, masquerading as Roman Catholic, is objecting to fake news. Insanity reigns.

Social media tells the truth about who Prevost is and about the tyrannical elites. That's why Ursula vos der Leyen and all European governments want to censor them fiercely, along with the false pope. It shows who he is and who he serves.
