BREAKING: Pope Francis Is NOT Dead — Vatican Officially Confirms He’s Alive and Well!

Rumors of Pope Francis’s death have been spreading like wildfire across social media today, sparking shock and confusion among millions of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. However, the Vatican has stepped in to shut down the false reports.

A spokesperson for the Vatican confirmed just moments ago that Pope Francis is “alive, well, and continuing his daily duties.” The clarification comes after a viral post falsely claimed the Holy Father had passed away overnight — sending Facebook into a frenzy.

“This is nothing but fake news,” the Vatican press office stated. “His Holiness Pope Francis is currently in good health and continuing his responsibilities as usual.”

Fans of the 87-year-old Pontiff can now breathe a sigh of relief. The Pope was last seen publicly during a Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica earlier this week and is reportedly preparing for an upcoming meeting with world leaders.

This incident highlights the dangers of misinformation on social media platforms and the importance of verifying news before sharing.
