The rest of the guild prophets fell in line behind John Henry Weston by refusing to give an accurate account of Fiducia Supplicans or the Vatican’s subsequent clarification. Taylor Marshall referred to Fiducia Supplicans as “an example of Francis and Fernandez engaging in Gaslighting.” For those of you who learned English before 2010, gaslighting is “a colloquialism, loosely defined as making someone question their own perception of reality.” The expression, which derives from the title of the 1944 film Gaslight, became popular in the mid-2010s. Merriam-Webster cites “to psychologically manipulate” so that the person questions his own memory, reality, and mental stability. Michael Matt, referring to Fiducia Supplicans as “Fernandez’s new doozy,” ridiculed the claim that FS did not change the Church’s teaching on marriage in the following way “We didn’t change the doctrine on MARRIAGE, remember? Get off our backs.” Followed by “A blessing is not an endorsement. DUH!” The tendentious nature of Matt’s commentary indicates a desire not to persuade or enlighten but to preach to a choir full of people with itching ears, as he has been doing for decades now.
