This is what the Vatican has come forward to clarify: a digital scam in which fake profiles are used to ask for money using the Pope\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fraud emerged especially around June 29, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul. That is the day the Church holds the well-known Peter\u2019s Pence collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an annual initiative in which money is raised to support the Pope\u2019s charitable works and the mission of the Holy See.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why the Vatican had to clarify that the only official way to donate is through the official Peter\u2019s Pence website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Pope Leo's social media presence, his only official accounts are on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, where he has gained millions of followers over the past two months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Leo does not have a Facebook account nor is he requesting donations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":78647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LcWSRsi9NDA","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/btruffaoboloeng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/btruffaoboloint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78650"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78650"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78650\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78652,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78650\/revisions\/78652"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
