Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

You will know them by their fruit.
So I would say some of the US Catholic Bishops in tying themselves so heavily to the Republican party and in their silence when those figures like Vance do racist fear-mongering and other things directly contrary to the Gospel are acting as false prophets or at the very least assisting Vance and others in that capacity.
They dress up their hateful actions in the guise of the teachings of Christ even when they are the complete opposite.
On the other hand I would say some of the stuff Pope Francis has done and what he is trying to do bears good fruit.
Although I do not think being a “false prophet” is a binary thing where you either are or you aren’t or an institution either is or isn’t necessarily.
I think it can be circumstantial.
