This morning I listened to a video by Jordan Sather who questioned both the statements about "Pope arrested" and "Trump signed Insurrection Act." He questioned both pointing to the source that Lin wood got the first "fact" and discredited Parkes and a couple of other folks putting out the Insurrection act story. I posted both of these stories on this board, not claiming they were true, but also not doing enough research to responsibly question them. I want to own my part in pushing out disinformation. This is a formal apology for "gaslighting" anyone. I will do my part to critically challenge, question, and dig deeper to shed light on any statements of facts.

Thanks to those on here who have pushed me to do better.

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.

A lot of misinformation and premature conclusions are being made.

Agree. In my case I posted other people's opinion without framing them as speculation and Not mine. You are correct: we all have to hold our conclusions until we can base them on solid information and facts.
