The Pontifical Academy for Life has become a complete embarrassment to Catholics everywhere over the last year, thanks in part to their childish and petty behaviour on Twitter.
The once respected institution has spent much of the past year engaging in petty spats with critics on Twitter.
Back in July, their Twitter spats with critics even led to an apparent repudiation of Pope Saint Paul VI's Humanae Vitae:
“Be careful: what is dissent today, can change. It is not relativism, it is the dynamics of the understanding of phenomena and science: the Sun does not rotate around the Earth. Otherwise there would be no progress and everything would stand still. Even in theology. Think about it.
Life issues is not a matter of taking fundamentalist positions with ideology, but of opening the debate within the community of moral theologians.”
Now, the credibility of the organisation has taken another dive with the appointment of economist Mariana Mazzucato.
Only some months ago, she shared a deranged video from Young Turks presenter Anahit Misak Kasparian who went on a tirade against Christians out of rage at Roe vs. Wade being overturned in the United States of America.
Mazzucato praised the video, writing ‘So good!’ to the tweet which said ‘This. All of this. Every word’
As expected, the usual sycophantic Anglo journalists have fawned over her appointment and even praised it as a ‘prolife’ move.
As is to be expected with the haphazard Synodal Church, any criticism of this ill advised move will likely be dismissed as being against the Holy Spirit or some other nonsense.
The video, and Mazzucato's sharing of it, speak for themselves.
The dark night of the church continues.
