The mainstream media is often poor these days. It is found peddling narratives (to skew our vision) over carefully researched fact. Just look at the reporting of Francis death. Then look at these photos.
Media narrative: ever so ‘umble Pope Francis moved out of sumptuous old fashioned Vatican apartments to have a simple bedroom.
Truth: it was costly and difficult for the Vatican to accommodate his maverick call to live in a hotel. Meanwhile the rooms were barely different:
The first is Pope Francis’ room and the second pope Benedict’s (you might even say Benedict’s room was more simple) Both men never had to worry about food or shelter or poverty. Both lived similar lives in terms of comfort and care.
Next is the tombstone claim. Ever so ‘umble Francis - who the secularists claim as their own (wrongly as it happens) - wanted such a simple tomb. But now look at the actual tombs of Francis - Benedict and JP2. Near identical all of them!
Let’s stick to facts and be mindful of how media narratives powerfully try to play us into seeing people as good or as bad - often quite detached from reality. Pray for the repose of the soul of pope Francis and pray for his successor and be very wary of what you read.
And if you believe pope Francis was modern and into secularist goals and Benedict all repressive and out of touch- 100% you have swallowed a media narrative that serves their agenda and not reality of church life and the faith in all ages. They - the secular elites- hunger for popes who thrive or fail on their media narratives because it brings control and the ability to blackmail and nudge. Resist it.
