The Pope Francisco will bless Lula with it. Released about three months ago, Lula has been trying to devise strategies policies targeting the 2020 and 2022 elections (he cannot be a candidate, but it is a strong support) while its lawyers look for strategies to defend against corruption charges. For the former president, a moment important event will take place on February 13, 2020 when the former president goes to the Vatican to visit Pope Francis. Lula's visit to the pontiff has generated numerous reactions on the internet. One One of them is the dissemination of fake news. The last of them points to something called “blessing of the innocents” (benedictionem et innocentum). According to a message published on Facebook (and printed left and right), right on WhatsApp), Pope Francis will grant this blessing to Lula. Two details: the blessing would only be granted to “innocent” people and, according to the message, no one has received it for 800 years. Read the message circulating online: IT’S BEEN 800 YEARS SINCE A POPE HAS GRANTED BENEDICTIONEM et INNOCENTUM. THE benedictionem et innocentum will be granted by Pope Francis to the former President Lula in a meeting at the Vatican. THE BLESSING benedictionem et innocentum is granted only to the INNOCENT! ## Pope Francis will grant the blessing of the innocent (benedictionem et innocentum) to Lula? This (somewhat dubious) message generated two reactions. The first of them (of Lula's supporters) was proud of the former president. The second (most of the people who shared the information) was in the tone of denunciation against the “communist pope”. Whatever the reaction, one thing is a fact: the information is false. Right away, the message and its source already give us away. The message itself alone, it has some of the main characteristics of online rumors. She is vague, alarmist, with Portuguese errors and does not cite reliable sources. This increases the suspicions. Suspicions that became certain when we “remember” (the good thing about denying rumors daily is that you just need to “remember” a few things) that the profile of the Facebook that spread the information about “benedictionem et innocentum” is the even from so many other fake news debunked here. As examples, we have the thesis that Dona Marisa was alive in Italy, that a false priest had tried to visit Lula, which Interpol discovered money in Red Cross suitcases and many others (including fake military interventions and confiscations). Almost certain that the story was false, we went looking for more details. on benedictionem et innocentum. As expected, we found nothing about the “blessing of the innocent”. When searching for “blessings from the pope”, we found some information. According to this Catholic website, there are the following types of papal blessings (which can be granted to anyone and is in Portuguese from Portugal): _1\. Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation (for one person only); 2. Marriage; 3. Priestly Ordination; 4. Religious Profession; 5. Ordering Permanent Deacon; 6. Birthday (10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°) of Marriage*, Priestly Ordination, Religious Profession; 7. Birthday (18th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 55th, 60th, 65º, 70º, 75º, 80º, 85º, 90º, 95º, 100º)*;_ As you can see, there is no blessing of the innocent. It's worth saying no can we find any reference that proves that it was given some time ago? day to someone (neither 800 nor 8000 or 8000000 years ago). In other words: the comrade in question pulled the story out of... nothing. In short: the story that indicates that Pope Francis will grant a blessing Lula's so-called blessing of the innocent is false. Neither the blessing “benedictionem et innocentum” exists, nor will Lula receive it. The most that the former president must win is a “common blessing” of the pontiff.
