  • Fact Check: Video Does NOT Prove Rothschilds, Vatican Are Trillionaires, Richest In The World

    Fact Check

    Does the Rothschild family have an amassed wealth of $2 trillion? Do the pope and Vatican City have a net worth of $20 trillion? No, a post making those claims does not substantiate the numbers.

  • Fact Check: Mafia Assassins Were NOT Sent To Rome To Avenge Pope Francis' 'Death' -- He Wasn't Killed

    Fact Check

    Were Mafia assassins dispatched to Rome during the Christmas holiday season to avenge the murder of Pope Francis? No, that's not true: The pope was alive on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

  • Fact Check: Pope Francis Did NOT Die And Lin Wood's Quip Was A Question, Not A Claim

    Fact Check

    Did Pope Francis die in mid-April 2021 and did a leading American conspiracy theorist break the "news"? No, that's not true: The pope made several public appearances that offer proof of life and Lin Wood's off-the-cuff comment was a question, not a declaration. The claim that Wood had revealed the pope's death circulated on numerous QAnon-linked websites and social media…
