The achievements of the Vatican's social media game in the past 20 years can summed up one photo.

Almost everything else has been a colossal and unmitigated failure, damaging people's faith and the image of the church.

The calamity over this Pope Francis movie is no different
To take a film with some stark and powerful images, then turn it into a source of distress and confusion

Not to mention allowing a Same Sex Marriage campaigner to direct it and release it to coincide with the US election

Represents a Vatican that is addicted to disaster
The Vatican can be very slick when they want to, very efficient when they want to be

This has to extend the papacy, this has to extend to its representation in media

Why were no Catholic documentary makers asked to make this film?

Why no clarification on its contents sooner?
The church has opened herself up to the world and the world is mocking it

It is time to ask for better, Our Lord deserves it

Thread of what we know so far about Pope Francis's comments on Same Sex Civil Unions
Firstly, the comments were circulated in the media today as part of the promotion for the new documentary 'Francesco'

Francesco is directed by former Israeli Defence Forces member Evgeny Avineesky
Avineesky made his film breakthrough with Jewish LGBT comedy 'Oy Vey, My Son is G✡y'

The alleged words of Pope Francis are strikingly similar in tone and content to those regularly uttered by the film's director, Evgeny Afineesky, a former Israeli soldier and long term advocate of associating 'family' with same sex relationships

#catholictwitter
Afineesky is also a long term proponent of associating the papacy with homosexuality

In 2013, Afineesky claimed that Pope Benedict had announced that he was a homosexual
Afineesky has also repeatedly mocked church teaching on same sex marriage and has said that the church is 'getting it wrong'

There are 50,000 reported cases of child abuse in Ireland every year.

Pretending Confession is the issue shows Socdems don't want separation of church and state and that they are willing to use serious issues as a battering ram to come after Catholics

Do not vote for bigotry
The Socdems have claimed that there is a 'baptism barrier' in Irish schools

This is a complete fabrication designed to cover the failures of secular authorities (their leader was a Minister once) to provide alternatives

It simply doesn't occur ImageImageImage
Socdems are complete hypocrites on the topic of religion who claim to want to separate Church and State yet at the same time they will tell Catholics how to perform their sacraments and run their schools

Just Catholics mind you, no other faith school or group ImageImage

Two years ago today, Ireland's anti Catholic media and liberal elite created one of their most bizarre conspiracy theories yet

This one involved homeless people being moved out of Dublin to accommodate Pope Francis's visit
The conspiracy claimed that homeless people would be moved from Dublin out of hotels to make way for big crowds attending the World Meeting of Families

It was never true, but the media decided to run with it anyways to smear Catholics and to try to upstage the Pope's visit
On a deranged high after legalising murdering babies 3 months earlier, Ireland's liberals even laughably even made petitions to Pope Francis

This was despite THEIR pro abortion leaders in Fine Gael having made 12,000 people homeless over the previous number of years

A 2018 ERSI study found that

- 59% of Irish public admitted to wanting few or no Muslim migrants
- 57% of young Muslims want Ireland to be an Islamic State
- 28% of young Muslims believe political violence is sometimes justified
The Festival of Sacrifice in Croke Park is not an organic religious event

It is merely another saga in the NGO manufacturing of the Ireland that they desire
There are only 63,000 Muslims in Ireland

The fastest growing religions in Ireland are Pentecostal groups and variations of Orthodoxy, alongside Hinduism

These are driven primarily by Ireland's migration levels from Romania, Nigeria, India and Eastern Europe

As Catholics in Ireland remain locked out of their churches on the eve of Holy Week

@tuamarchdiocese decide to allow Muslims to hold Friday prayer on the altar alongside a priest

#CatholicTwitter
There will be no Ave Marias from the faithful during Holy Week in churches in @tuamarchdiocese

Not a single parishioner will be permitted in

There were at least a dozen Allahu Akbar's today however

This is the audio from the Mass that was broadcast from the church today
Holy Week starts in two days

No Catholic parishioners will be permitted into their churches during Holy Week in Ireland,no arrangements have been made to allow so much as a candle

Arrangements were made however for Islamic prayer today

Our priests have forgotten us, once again
