Pope Leo decries decline of free speech [ Long ago I thought : " A WOKE Catholic Church is a JOKE Catholic Church " . ]

[ " During an address to members of the diplomatic corps on Friday, Pope Leo XIV warned that "Orwellian-style" ideology is taking root in the West and undermining free speech. "It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking," Pope Leo said. "At the same time, a new Orwellian-style language is developing which, in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it." The pope said freedom of conscience is also increasingly under attack. " ] GOOGLE search result . As a longtime independent democratic socialist and a pre-Vatican II type Catholic I have observed for years - long before the present FASCIST-ZIONIST New Regime of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller - that the " liberal " Democratic Party was a pillar of vicious WOKE nonsense in " OUR democracy ". The WOKE WARRIOR democrats showed less and less respect for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization and were obviously controlled by secular ZIONIST Jews with a grudge against Christianity and especially against the Roman Catholic Church. Years ago I thought : " A WOKE Catholic Church is a JOKE Catholic Church ! " One reason these now mostly sectarian Marxist " vanguard party " organizations never get anywhere ( a hundred years is a long time ! ) is they continue to think that " going godless " in political ideology will catch on with the masses. No , not even AI will help here ! Did " officially atheist " Stalin era Russia obliterate the religious instincts of humanity ? The ideological " execution " of God will not liberate the masses from capitalist exploitation and oppression ( and indeed from spiritual depression ) . Eternal " matter in motion " has nothing to satisfy the human soul !
