What is the truth?
While examining the video that is going viral, it has been found that two videos of Pope Francis attending events in different countries have been circulating on social media with the same title. When reverse searching the keyframes of the viral videos, it is found that the original video of the first video was published by CNN on its official YouTube channel page on April 01, 2016.
Pope Francis visits Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial, the official memorial to the 6 million Jews killed during World War II, where he listens to the stories of Holocaust survivors and kisses their hands as a sign of humility and respect. In this regard, we were able to learn clearly through the news published by the media channels like National Post and Euro News.
And while examining the second video that is circulating, the actual video was published by Voice of America on its YouTube page on April 11, 2019.
The video shows Pope Francis kissing the feet of leaders involved in the 2013 war in South Sudan, urging them not to return to civil war and saying, “As a brother, I ask you from my heart to be calm.”
Later, the South Sudanese leaders signed a peace agreement and ended the war, according to a BBC report.
Conclusion
In our search, the circulating videos of Pope Francis falling down and kissing the hands and feet of world leaders (Illuminati) as claimed are false. The videos show Holocaust survivors and Sudanese political leaders.
