There were 5+ police vehicles with blue lights flashing in St. Peter's square overnight, were present for more than an hour. Was visible in live cam. Maybe they go every night?
I hope you are right. My gut tells me something really did go down at the Vatican, so I'll keep digging until confirmation happens. Q reminded us that a lot of information would never come out. My guess is the Pope's Doc got "Covid" and died so that they have plausible deniability on why the Pope is suddenly out of commission with Covid. We shall see.
Has anyone seen the Pope? I bet if he is detained or arrested we would not know. Think about the global implications of announcing the Pope is arrested right now. Their are millions that believe he is a man of God or some philanthropist and would shit their pants if the truth were exposed in an arrest.
I agree--even if they have arrested Pope, it is not something they would simply put out there--the impact on a major world religion would be too much. I find it interesting that his doctor died (sauce below). It give plausibility to saying that the Pope caught Covid, etc. Just a theory. So we shall see. The Pope did seem to signal that he would be stepping down, but then we didn't hear anymore about him actually doing so.

Thought about that yesterday. Putting that out now would not be good for optics.
I swear to The Creator that I observed it on the Vatican stream by scrolling back a few hours.
Here is a link to someone that captured it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pcTazRlS00
Thank you. My gut tells me you are right. They started signaling with the Doc who died of Covid and messages about the Pope stepping down after Christmas...if in fact they have or will arrest the Pope, they will have to message that carefully so as not to impact what is a major world religion. Causing total chaos in the Catholic Church is not an option.
I’m unsure of timing/authenticity but a video of dozens of Mercedes sprinter vans with a police escort driving through Rome was also floating around
