On April 13, 2020, first on social networks in Italy, and then around the world, a very strange viral video began to spread:
As you can see, during the official broadcast of the Pope's speech, Francis finished his address, waved his hand, turned around, took a couple of steps and disappeared. Dissolved into thin air And now everyone is wondering - what was it?
The first thing to think about is fake. That is, image processing in a video editor. However, this assumption does not explain the fact that the “fake” was seen and recorded by several people:
Therefore, at the moment and in the general opinion, if we exclude the option of ascension, then we are talking about the hologram of the Pope. And the technologies that allow you to show such tricks have long been:
This raises the question: what forced the Vatican to show people tricks on the air?
Promotional video:
The most logical assumption that explains the situation is either the poor health of the Pope, or even the death of the Pope.
So, already in the first days of the appearance of the coronavirus in Italy, the media got information that the Pope had a cold. Then everyone was told that Dad was in quarantine. Then Dad kind of recovered, but then no one really saw Dad anyway.
The Vatican has a lot of reasons to hide the death / malaise of the Pope, first of all - the reputation of the church, since believers will not understand if the Pope, whom the Vatican presents as a saint living among sinful mortals, suddenly the very first to die from an epidemic.
The second unpleasant moment is the election of a new Pope. In the world of a pandemic, the cities are for some reason blocked by the military, so now is somehow not the best time for conclaves and a fight for power.
Finally, there is still such a moment as the prophecy about the popes of St. Malachi, according to which the current Pope is the last and with his departure Christianity in Europe will come to an end, while Europe itself will face innumerable calamities. Therefore, in order not to upset and not frighten the believers in the Vatican, they decided to hide everything and show the public the Pope in digital form.
The only weak point of this theory is the use of a hologram, since it would be much easier to make a double and send him to the window to wave his pen. However, we do not know the Vatican rules on this score - perhaps and most likely there are some prohibitions on such tricks, prescribed in medieval bulls. Therefore, the Vatican had no choice but to use the Blue Beam or something like that.
A variant of the test of the technology itself is also considered. That is, now the believers were shown the Pope, who ascended right in front of the camera, and tomorrow they will show Mr. Obama, who will ride a horse across the clouds and save the world from a pandemic - this option is also not excluded by conspiracy theorists.
Finally, we cannot discount the fact that we may be living in the Matrix and that Dad is just one of its characters. There have been a lot of glitches and glitches in the Matrix lately, so another glitch happened to the Vatican.
In this case, it is quite possible that there will be more glitches. For example, it will start moving from place to place, disappear and appear St. Peter's Basilica. Or the Matrix will generate a crowd of a million cardinals there, and absolutely the same. We also do not exclude such an option, so we are following the development of events: what if the holograms will soon be somewhere else?
