It has now been several days since the fake photograph of Pope Francis in chapel, praying, has been released. The image with the grotesque acquatic appendage looking hand, which was miraculously returned to normal state a day later by means of a Vatican Press release, simply does not convince the public that the truth of Pope Francis’ condition has been told.
Even InfoVaticana’s blog, the Specola, which oozes with concern and respect for a man who has destroyed the Church, admits the photograph was “staged”. But refuses to say what they see, out of “respect” and some twisted form of obeisance to a man, who as “pope”, has not refrained from idolatry, treachery, promotion of perps and numerous lies and frauds, from fingering laypeople so that they could be assassinated in Argentina during the Military Junta, to commanding Catholics in China to be in communion with heretical schismatic CCP controlled agents, posing as Bishops.
The photo is obviously fake for numerous reasons: the hand is not a human appendage, it is disproportionate to the size of the head, there is no explicable way a sheet could be draped over a human body sitting in a wheel chair and have folds of the kind shown in the image; the face is totally obscured, the skin color is unnatural, the stole is improperly placed upside down, the papal zuchetto is missing, etc..
And are we to think, that for the Roman Pontiff, head of the Vatican State, there cannot be found one liturgical tailor in all of Rome, who could design an alb to fit the Roman Pontiff while sitting in a wheel chair? That is simply not credible, if he is still alive. But if dead, it totally makes sense, because a tailor has to measure the living man, before designing the alb.
Moreover, no previous press release by Vatican News, nor subsequent, has even attempted to explain or disclose medical conditions which correspond to the image. We were told for weeks he had to take oxygen daily and mechanical ventilation at night. But since the photograph does not correspond to this, presto magico, we are told in the subsequent press release, that he no longer needs these things! And when Vatican News attempted to defend the withered hand, claiming it was swollen, despite a week long motive therapy, it was cured in 24 hours, at the precise moment Vatican News needed to explain the grotesque disproportionate image in the released photo. Now, that’s a totally amazing medical miracle!
In addition, no names were given as regards who concelebrated with Pope Francis in that chapel. There is evidently no eye witnesses to corroborate the photograph is real.
Yet the Main Stream Media goes merrily along copying and pasting Vatican News reports, which for weeks said the Pope was stable and now chime daily that he is improving slightly.
All the while, while they knew that Pope Francis was admitted to hospital because of cortisone abuse, evidently administered for months and months at his own request, since his last hospitalization in March of 2024, when they told him his lungs were shot and he had to slow down.
When someone tells the truth, he can talk for hours about it, because it corresponds to a reality, existing. But when someone lies, he can only attempt to defend part of the lie, since none of it corresponds to anything which corresponds to reality.
As for the rest of the photo, silence.
What is a plastic cup with a straw doing hiding behind a pair of candles? What is the problem with Pope Francis that they chose to release a fake photo?
It appears Vatican News simply refuses to speak about it further. It has been swept under the rug. But as the days pass and no outsider is allowed to meet with Pope Francis, we can be more and more sure that the photograph never corresponded with reality, just as we know it does not correspond to the descriptions given for a month about his lung problems.
An authentic “proof of life” has been refused and explanations of the photograph refused. Meanwhile, the names of his medical team are refused after 32 days just as the names of his concelebrants which are also refused.
The only sane position, then, is to presume Pope Francis is dead, since the Vatican has failed entirely to demonstrate that he is alive, for now 32 days, and has been caught in numerous fibs, if not lies, like the one disclosed in the above press release, which claims that Pope Francis is now taking solid food, when for weeks it has been said he ate breakfast each morning in a chair.
Presuming he is dead, does not mean he is alive or dead. It means that the disclosing of certain information and the refusal of all other information correspond to him being dead, since they are inconsistent with his being alive.
READERS who wish to file an official complaint with the Vatican Authorities for the way information distribution about Pope Francis’ state of health is being conducted, can file their complaint to the Office of the Auditor General, through this Vatican agency: Segnalazioni Anomalie. Please note, that the original news article about this agency, by National Catholic Reporter, reports the Auditor General’s email as sengalazionianomalie@urg.va, though proper Italian should read segnalazionianomalie@urg.va — so try either and see what works, since it may have been a typographic error to prevent spammers from spamming the office. Though I cannot say which it may be.
Though this office is concerned primarily with financial malfeasance, I believe what we have seen in the last 32 days constitutes financial malfeasance, because a lot of Vatican employees are being paid to conceal and misinform, when it is their job to report the truth. Indeed, it is always cheaper to tell the truth, just as it would have been much cheaper to do a 30 second video of Pope Francis each day, than release highly redacted press releases, which with intricate turns of language conceal the actual health conditions of the Pope, the knowledge of which is essential to the Faithful to be motivated to pray for his recovery, and necessary to the Cardinals and Vatican administration, to know how to conduct themselves.

I eventually reasoned similarly about the Benedict “resignation” as well.
While I had already become thoroughly convinced of his anti-papacy and Benedict’s continued papacy in (i think) 2018 when I came across your website, over time more and more evidence (often circumstancial) presented itself in favor of our case.
One of these things which seemed as circumstantial evidence is that during 2021 and 2022 it seemed the “Benedict is Pope” voice was getting more traction and being talked about by people other than yourself and Barnhart and a few others. And more and more “non-bloggers” (just normal people like me) started believing Benedict hadn’t renounced the office etc. It became increasingly difficult for me to believe that Francis, his cronies, and probably everybody at the Vatican, good and bad alike, weren’t aware of this increasing segment of the Catholic world believing he was an anti-pope and Benedict still Pope. Even if it was a minority of Catholics – when there comes to be at least tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, or maybe even a few million Catholics who believe Benedict never resigned and Francis is an anti-pope, and YOU DO NOT PROPERLY DEAL WITH THE CONTROVERSY TO CLEAR IT ALL UP AND SAVE THE SOULS OF THOSE “ERRONEOUSLY” BELIEVING HIM TO BE ANTI-POPE (sorry for yelling) then that makes it look like it’s true, because if it wasn’t, why in the world would any legitimate Pope just allow a (not insignificant) segment of the Catholic faithful who believes him to be anti-pope INCREASE unchecked?
The more time went by and evidently more and more people came to believe he wasn’t Pope, and it’s vocal and open online etc…and he never even mentions “yeah, those who think I am not Pope are mistaken and here is why…” Wouldn’t he care for their souls.
That silence spoke so loudly to me.
That it is very logical but unfortunately Pope Francis is probably a mason and so does not believe in Catholic doctrine related to the salvation of souls.
John:
You can remove that “probably” since he is a registered Rotarian, a Masonic organization. That is well known.
It’s a disgrace to have to explain to a young Catholic boy who believes in Jesus and Mother Church and who serves Our Heavenly Father dutifully at the Mass each week that the visible Church is run by criminals who have infiltrated Her and in addition to all their other crimes won’t even tell the truth about whether the man they claim is pope is alive or dead (perhaps it depends on what the meaning of “is” is.) This child and his young brothers and sisters hear the prayers offered at each Mass for the health of Pope Francis; the boy has to reconcile the bizarre obedience and willful blindness of the parish priests with what his own eyes tell him. We live in an age in which children are deprived of the birthright of being able to trust the Church and have to journey through the faith shrewd as serpents, knowing that many of those around them in positions of authority (priests, parochial school principals, archbishops) cannot be trusted. We reassure them that the Invisible Church cannot be corrupted and silently thank and praise God because these same innocents still kneel to receive Communion on their uncorrupted tongues. Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. Thy Will Be Done.
Lord have mercy. Bring to your children a good and holy Pope.
Pray the Rosary with all your heart this Lent. Genuflect with awe and reverence before the Blessed Sacrament, for separating you from His real presence was a top-tier strategic objective of the Plandemic and the bishops enabled it to be achieved. Don’t let it happen again. Most priests remain unbothered that this happened and resent you (stop being your “friend”) the instant you bring it up or ask them what they think Jesus meant when he told Peter to feed His lambs.
“Peter, do you love me?” He asked it three times for a very important reason.
“Heavenly King, Paraclete,
Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things,
Treasury of good gifts and Giver of Life, come and dwell within us,
cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O good One.”
We can explain it to children, if they become aware of it, which, if I remember my childhood correctly, I never paid attention to the news. But just as Jesus was betrayed by one of His chosen Apostles, the Iscariot, so there are ages in which Holy Mother Church and all Her children are betrayed by a generation of Iscariots. But this is not because of a failure of the Church, the US Govt has been bribing popes, cardinals, bishops and priests to do their worst to the Church since 1945 at least, and since the US govt is much more organized to do this practically, while men in the Church are trained to attend to things above, they hit Holy Mother Church were She was least defended. Knowing this, it is the duty of our generation to liberate Holy Mother Church from these creeps, iscariots and fiends. And this is what we should pray for, when we pray for superiors: Lord if they be good men, strengthen them; if mediocre, convert them, if Thy enemies, bring them to repentance, and if they resist wipe them off the face of the earth!
We can explain the current disgraceful situation to anyone by showing how Scripture and Tradition have predicted this age of apostasy and disobedience since apostolic times both explicitly and by way of allegories.
What is going on in the Church is not a reason to stumble in the faith but a good motive to increase our faith and prepare to meet Our Lord and King coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
We are limited in what we can do to deal with a band of wicked degenerates who think they control the Church but we can meditate and understand. Then we can build up the faith of others.
Yes it is embarrassing to be a faithful Catholic. But that is no even close to the shame that Our Lord endured while being sinless and perfectly faithful.
“… let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of[n] the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame” Hebrews 12:1-2
These time we are living are the fulfillment of ancient prophecies written for our instruction and edification. Consider 2 Peter 2:1-3
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive opinions. They will even deny the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Even so, many will follow their licentious ways, and because of these teachers the way of truth will be maligned. And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation, pronounced against them long ago, has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
Tell children and neophytes that this is an opportunity to see the hand of God in action. Patiently wait until fire from Heaven consumes this wicked generation alive.
Teach the faith, be strong!

Zoom his finger bigger …..look like the pork feet. Search pork feet on Google ..will see
Not being a farmer, I thought your comment strange, but you are absolutely right, that grotesque acquatic appendage looks like a pigs foot.
Yes, it bears an uncanny resemblance to a hoof, which is often depicted as the foot of satan……
