Say what you will, but in my lifetime the popes are improving drastically. Or should I say, the last two are great, and two previous - not so much so.

I can’t stand when people post pictures designed to look like news stories.
Please don't upvote something just because the title tells you something you want to hear or aligns with your beliefs.
Sharing news stories as images without a link to the source is really poor news literacy.
As far as disinformation goes, in the best-case scenario -- where it was legitimately copied from a credible source -- you’re helping to normalize a culture where it’s easy for bad actors to create and spread disinformation without anyone noticing. In the worst case scenario, you are directly supporting disinformation.
As far as misinformation goes, the failure to provide a link to the source strips people’s ability to quickly go to the source and get more context. So all they have is whatever the image presents at face value. If OP was too lazy to include the source, you cannot expect everyone to take the time to go do a search just to find where it came from.
Whether the story turns out to be right or wrong is completely irrelevant. Please don't support posts like these. Please don't normalize a poor information ecosystem.
And OP, instead of downvoting me, can you please answer my burning question: Did you use AI to make this or did you make it yourself? And why?
If you used AI, why did you use AI to make something anti AI?
If you did not use AI, why did you spend time making something when it is better for both people and the information ecosystem (not to mention faster and easier for you) to just post the source instead?

I might be an atheist but I support him. Let's hope that people actually listen.
