    He wasn’t taking to the tech bros, either, is the point. This headline makes it seem like a conversation between them, just arbitrarily adding in the group that doesn’t listen to anyone

      Catholics make up a large voting bloc in many countries. Also, consumer choices do matter (to an extent).

      Again, he’s addressing his flock. I don’t give a fuck if you bring up a bunch of tangential groups that he doesn’t have authority over. He’s talking to the people who adhere to the religion he’s the leader of. It’s got nothing to do with you, or any of the other people you’re saying he isn’t talking to.

      He has a pulpit, and he’s using it for good. That’s it.

      Edit: just realized you were criticizing the headline, and also you’re not the commenter I initially responded to. So my response was a bit overblown.

      Yeah, clickbaity, editorialized headlines are bullshit. That’s an entirely separate (though still valid!) issue…
