00:00No, africans were not denied access to visit Pope Francis' body.
00:10A whole host of posts on X are alleging that the Vatican authorities prevented African citizens
00:15from approaching Pope Francis' body to pay their respects as he lay in state.
00:20The posts share a video of a black man in St. Peter's Basilica arguing with someone else off screen.
00:26He's then escorted away by security while other visitors to the Vatican look on.
00:30The video is accompanied with captions saying that Africans were blocked from bidding farewell to Pope Francis
00:36with some claiming that it amounts to racism.
00:39However, this isn't true.
00:41St. Peter's Basilica was open to all, with tens of thousands queuing to see his open coffin, including Africans.
00:47People were able to see the late Pope lying in state between 23rd and 25th April, according to news reports at the time.
00:54A reverse image search of a still from the video shows us that it was put online as late as 22nd April,
01:00a day before the lying in state began and the day after Pope Francis' death.
01:05This is despite even certain news outlets claiming that the event shown in the video occurred while the Pope's body was on display to the public.
01:12The reverse image search also takes us to local Italian news reports, which were also published on 22nd April.
01:19These say that the man appeared to bypass security checks and the large queue of the faithful who had been lining up to bid a figurative farewell to the Bishop of Rome before the lying in state began.
01:30Community notes on certain ex posts also say that the man is known to people living in the area and that he often causes a disturbance but is ultimately harmless.
01:39There are no credible sources suggesting that anyone was denied access to see his body on the grounds of their country of origin or the color of their skin,
01:47including a lack of any such announcement from the Vatican itself.
