I asked, Where does the word propaganda come from? AI Overview responded, The word "propaganda" originates from the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, a Roman Catholic organization established in 1622 to oversee missionary activities. The word itself is a shortened form of the Latin "Congregātiō dē Propagandā Fide," which translates to "congregation for propagating the faith".

PLUS often it pops into my head that the way Americans are being lied to in right wing media is much like the way Catholic parishioners were lied to about pedophiles in their priesthood. It's propaganda, just with Trump today it's on a much larger scale and it's damaging more people worse.
