I saw an individual post this "Very false news" up here on Gloria. TV and then close comments.
Outrageous to put words in a Bishop's mouth in such a deceptive manner. I suspect that was grave subject matter.
I hope the individual gets banned permanently from Gloria.TV

The popular name for this practice is "clickbait". At the very least, it's a practice in dishonesty. It was enough that the good bishop felt a need to make a public statement, which means it could very easily have been a public scandal.
So yes, call people out for not reading the entire post, but also call out those who made the post with the dishonest title. Both are to blame.

@Just me That was not the title I read. Maybe there were multiple posts? The title that I read was an excerpt from the draft declaration, not a summary of the content as the one you cited.
