The snopes article doesn’t say it’s outright false, just that it’s not based on available evidence. So stating it as fact rather than rumor is misinformation.
The Vatican has failed to deny it for over 20 years of inquiry. The impact of this claim is benign compared to pretty much anything else the church has factually done.
it’s funny and harmless, meme on.

Yes, that is the definition of a factoid

What happens if they hit the pope with the pipe hammer and he sits up and screams “Ow!” ??? 🤔
jellyfishhunter@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
The hammer deals holy damage, so it’ll be very effective to keep hitting.

Fun fact: the word “factoid” means a false bit of information that is being passed as fact. It doesn’t mean “a small interesting tidbit of information”.
Though I suppose the official definition will be changed since the proper one is seemingly dead

A really fun factoid is that factoids being false information is not actually true!

Which means that OP used factoid correctly.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
You know, it should be obvious, but until you brought it up here, I was guilty of thinking of it as just some colloquialism (which it very well may be). But if you think of the suffix -oid, taking “humanoid” for example, you get something that isn’t presenting itself as a human. But I didn’t come to that conclusion, I just was like, wow, they bop the Pope with a hammer.
So thanks.
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Yeah, most lexicons being descriptive rather prescriptive makes etymology one hell of a twisted labyrinth. I agree it’s important for a lot of reasons. The last thing we need right now is a State enforcing some kind of “Newspeak”

Isn’t that what JD Vance did when he visited the pope, killing him?
Since the Trump administration thrives on falsifying news, can’t we go in the counter offensive by mass spreading JD Vance killed the pope? I think this would be so funny and his dumb fanbase might actually believe it and start to hate him for it.

If they were physicists they’d hold the tip of the handle with a pinching gesture, then pull the hammer back to horizontal and let it drop. Swinging with a perfect arc it would thud into the pope’s head with just enough force to hurt anyone who was still alive, and get a response.
However seeing as they’re still using a hammer to test for brain activity - we can assume the Catholic Church isn’t that friendly to science or something.
DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
I shit you not, it took the Catholic Church until the 1800’s to finally accept that the Earth revolves around the fucking Sun. Maybe the 1750’s if someone’s feeling generous, but they were still censoring Galileo’s and Copernicus’s books at that time.

This is like those warning labels. Someone had to really fuck up to get some of those warnings made. Makes me wonder about this hammer.
frezik@midwest.social 14 hours ago
Oh, they did. Telling if someone was really dead was difficult until modern medicine figured it out in the last century or so. People got buried alive by unwitting village elders all the time.
Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 hours ago
it was common enough that the “Safety Coffin” was invented to help deal with it. If you heard a bell ringing in the graveyard, someone was alive down there.

It’s unclear. The Vatican denies it, but apparently weirder methods have been used to certify the passing of a pope before, so who knows.

Same. I had to look it up. In doing my deep research, I learned that they used an EKG on Jonny P II to confirm his expiration. That shit’s hilarious. It was someone’s job to EKG that OBVIOUSLY dead corpse, lol.

hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
Nono, I remember this from JPII’s death. They yell his birth name 3 times into his room and then they use the hammer to smash his ring and seals. Dude was in a coma for a just long enough for us to hope for a Undead Pope -> Emperor on the Golden Throne situation.
