MEXICAN ARCHDIOCESE WARNS AGAINST GROWING MANIPULATION OF
LANGUAGE
MEXICO CITY (NE) Presently there is a worrying "manipulation
of language" that "hides true lies, as part of a culture of
death that invades us", recently warned the Archdiocese of
Mexico in its publication "Nuevo Criterio". Words are emptied of
their contents, manipulated, and finally, the concepts that they
represent are replaced by others in an imperceptible, subtle,
but completely real way, the magazine denounced it its last
issue.
"A culture of lie and simulation invades us… Not only new lives
are annihilated, but those who, unprepared an ignorant of a
process of manipulation of language, are seduced by false ideas
and thus controlled. They think that they are free, but in
reality, they are being manipulated from outside."
The article also states that "in this country we have become
experts in manipulating language to hide the truth", especially
in attacks against life and family. There is no more inflation,
but the peso only "slides"; there are no electoral frauds, but
only "irregularities"; government workers don't steal, they only
"deviate resources"; there is no birth control, only
"demographic planning"; no more euthanasia, but "sweet dream";
and now there will be no abortion, but only "emergency
contraception" or the "pill of the day after", which in reality
is a chemical product that aborts new human beings recently
conceived, the magazine denounced.
