Audio -message should contribute to the dispersion of death rumors
According to Vatican insiders, the publication of the audio message serves to dispel incorrect information about the Pope. Videos have been circulating in the social networks for days, in which it is claimed that the Pope has long since been dead. The fact that no picture of Francis' has been published since February 14th has been published on February 14th.
For days, the wildest “fake news” has been buzzing through the networks by the networks. « The Pope is dead, and in the Vatican they are already negotiating the successor » – such sentences can now be found on the net again and again. A tikkeer supposedly showed the entrance to the tenth floor of the Gemelli Clinic, in which the Pope's room is located, without supervision of guards. This is proof that the Pope is no longer in the hospital, it said. The Roman police initiated an investigation into these false information, reported the daily newspaper “La Repubblica“(Friday edition).
Unlike John Paul II (1978-2005), who was also photographed on the bedside, Francis does not currently use this means of communication. This heats speculation about the real condition of the Pope. At the same time, the Vatican has surprisingly communicated about the Pope's illness. (APA)
