Pope Leo XIV, one week into his papacy, faces false narratives similar to those encountered by Pope Francis. A viral social media post misidentifies a peace flag as the LGBTQ flag, and claims of the Pope urging 'wokeness' in a prayer lack evidence. Speculation surrounds his approach to LGBTQ+ issues, with hopes for a continuation of Francis's more liberal stance. Additionally, serious allegations of covering up sexual abuse cases are strongly denied by the Vatican, which asserts that investigations found Pope Leo's conduct 'impeccable'.
