I& #39;ve been coming across a lot of posts on Facebook in various Catholic groups I belong to. What I see is horrifying.

Stuff like claims of "demon worship" in the Vatican, to Francis being a false pope, to people bragging about how their pastors mock wearing masks. 1/
These are posts with hundreds of likes and supporting comments. Most appear to be real people, not anonymous trolls like on Twitter.

I also hear from a lot of @Where_Peter_is readers from families and communities where this kind of thinking is dominant. 2/
This is the "postmodern" direction that traditionalism has taken. This anti-intellectual, fear-based conspiracism is beating our Church down. 3/
And this has been fueled by priests, bishops, and people in Catholic media who have fostered an anti-Francis atmosphere. Your "serious concerns" about Francis, to your support for the dubia, to your promotion of Viganò& #39;s "credibility." 4/
It& #39;s becoming too big to ignore. And those who created this monster should be begging God for forgiveness. They have much to answer for.

We& #39;ve been trying to sound the alarm about this for over two years.

Our Church is sick. @Pontifex is the medicine.
