I believe Pope Francis has been interceding for me.
Very recently my heart took a sudden change of course. I realize that to spread the Gospel is not to be a keyboard warrior, as Francis has said. Nor is it to troll my opponents.
I used to get very upset at those criticizing Francis, and felt a duty to argue with them and defeat them in argumentation. But importantly I had implicitly or subconsciously judged them to be bad people—which is plainly wrong. My apologies to anyone I have.
Going forward I will thus adjust the tone and nature of this account. I haven’t changed any of my views, but I want to shift in how I tweet. I will still engage in apologetical arguments as is appropriate (including defending Pope Francis’s legacy), but hopefully without the provocativeness I had engaged in previously (which they admittedly were).
I feel that to be a good Catholic online, others should see that you have the Joy of the Gospel (Evangelii Gaudium), and this means always maintaining a level of charity even should I perceive others not to be. I feel as if Francis was telling me this, to stop trying to be a keyboard warrior, and instead reorganize my priorities on what he actually taught—the Joy of the Gospel. I don’t know how else to explain this since this realization has come on me seemingly out of nowhere.
