How Pope Francis Gets "the Common Good" Wrong
12/17/2020Alice Salles
In a New York Times op-ed full of musings on how to “build a better, different, human future,†Pope Francis praised world governments for putting “the well-being of their people first†while ridiculing critics of the covid-19 lockdowns.
Juxtaposed with Francis’s condemnation of skeptics in the prestigious newspaper, Tom Woods’s antilockdown “Covid Cult†speech was deleted by YouTube two days prior. That video, which had already gone viral, addressed the “common good†argument that the pope would make.
Considering how wrong both the legacy and new media have been on covid and the lockdowns from the start, it’s no wonder that platforms such as YouTube have a personal beef with Woods or his sober message calling out the pseudoscience that’s been used to destroy people’s lives and livelihoods.
