I assure you the church has always had enemies, as have the many nations throughout history, and more importantly they had less control over public sentiment than they had over how history was written.
But the point is that you or Zuckerberg don’t decide fuck all on morality, only the majority can, and that has always been true even as morality has changed, and furthermore that he literally also agreed with that majority that it was Virtuous.
It’s clear we very much disagree whether morality is derived from or aligned with the judgment of the public. But surely you can understand that such disagreement exists, and that your perspective on this isn’t held by everyone? If someone talks about virtue, you can’t assume they are talking about the will of the majority, and you can’t infer that a statement is contradictory based on the assumption that the ‘virtue’ refers to the will of the majority, because that’s just your opinion and probably not what they mean. I bet your opinion on this isn’t even shared by most people.
