Catholic e-celebs are of no authority, and their opinion carries no weight, but more Catholics listen to them and remain in a state of comfortable opposition to the church and its values, allowing others to convince them "when its ok to listen to the church". If your trad e-celeb or online community has you raging about everything The Pope says, trying to nitpick everything the church does, or holding your brothers and sisters in Christ in contempt for not agreeing with you, please realize you are being lead astray. You should allow all your opinions to be challenged, it allows you to know you are making logical decisions that align with Catholic teaching, but most are too afraid to step outside the ideological boxes that propaganda artists have built for them. It is a great thing to think for yourself, of course, but it is of more value to understand how difficult it is to do so.
