SAN NICOLÁS DE LOS ARROYOS, Argentina (LifeSiteNews) — Multiple journalism outlets have confirmed that lightning demolished the keys and blessing hand of a statue of St. Peter in Argentina on December 17, Pope Francis’ birthday and the day before the publication of the Vatican document Fiducia Supplicans endorsing homosexual “blessings.”
The Lepanto Institute reported on Sunday that it sent an unnamed individual to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás, north of Buenos Aires, where the statue flanks the shrine, to take pictures and confirm the lightning strike originally reported on December 26 by Italian blogger Andrea Cionci.
“The Dec. 17 lightning strike is CONFIRMED,” the Lepanto Institute shared on X, noting that lightning struck the statue despite the fact that multiple lightning rods are located about 30 to 40 feet above it, as pictures show.
CatholicVote also sent a journalist to the scene, who likewise confirmed that lightning struck the statue on December 17, “obliterating” the keys in the St. Peter statue’s right hand. The news outlet noted that the multiple surrounding lightning rods make the incident “highly improbable.”
Cionci and others have emphasized that both the date on which the strike occurred and where it took place are remarkable. The statue is located in the Buenos Aires Province about 250 kilometers northwest of the city of Buenos Aires, where Francis was born, raised, and was archbishop.
