Did Pope Francis wear a rainbow cross to show support for the LGTBQ+ community?
A photo of Pope Francis holding a multi-colored cross has sparked a heated debate online, with many believing it signals that the Catholic Church is returning to its historic anti-LGBTQ+ stance. The Cube has scrutinized these claims.
Photos of Pope Francis holding a rainbow cross, which many claim represents the LGBTQ+ community, recently went viral on social network X, formerly known as Twitter.
"And before our eyes, the Pope just invented the LGBT cross," one user joked.
"Today Pope Francis wore along with his cross another one given to him in LGBT colors, which caused controversy," another Twitter account wrote.
Doing a reverse image search, Cube found that the photo is not recent.
The photo was taken in 2018 during the Fifteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, organized by the Vatican.
The Vatican's official Twitter account explained that the colored cross was a gift from the Latin American Youth Ministry.
