මාවරලේ භද්දිය හිමියන්ව ඉලක්ක කර ගනිමින් හුවමාරුවන නොමගයවන සුලු සමාජ ජාලා සටහන් !!

Publisher’s rating: False

The posts concerned a video edited to imply that Mawarale Bhaddiya Thera was strongly criticizing people who condemned monks suspected of misconduct. The review describes the footage as juxtaposing a clip of a monk in a room with two women and a separate video of Bhaddiya Thera, creating that impression. It identifies the Thera’s footage as coming from the Talk with Chatura program and says the program had been recorded and uploaded months before the video involving the monk began circulating. That chronology is central to the review’s finding: the Talk with Chatura remarks could not have been a response to criticism of the later-circulating video. The review says it identified the program and its timing, and that the Thera explained his remarks were about attacks on Buddhism and Buddhist beliefs—not criticism of people objecting to suspected misconduct by monks. Its conclusion is that the social-media presentation misrepresented what he was discussing.

A Video Of French People Praying After The Recent Incident For Their Nation To Be Christian Again!

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The claim concerns a night-time video of a candlelit crowd in France, presented as people praying for their nation to become Christian again in response to recent incidents. The review says the footage does not show a gathering prompted by those incidents: it identifies it as a video from the 2022 Feast of the Assumption at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. The review reports that a hymn can be heard and that the claim circulating alongside the video described Catholics as praying for France to become Christian again.

දෙවන ජුවාම් පාවුළු පාප් වහන්සේගේ දේහය ලෙස සඳහන් කරමින් හුවමාරු වන වීඩියෝවේ ඇත්ත කතාව!

Publisher’s rating: False

The claim concerns a video circulated as showing the exhumed body of Pope John Paul II, supposedly still showing no signs of decay. Fact Crescendo’s investigation examined that specific circulating video and reports that its reverse-image search traced it to a YouTube upload from August 2011. The Spanish-language title described the arrival of John Paul II’s bodily remains at a school named Mercedes; the investigation also notes that Spanish singing could be heard in the clip. The review identifies the footage as having been filmed in Mexico, not as recent footage of an exhumation. [The source describes the investigation’s findings and methods in the quoted text.]
