Two assistants put up the heavy frame that had fallen a few metres from Francis. Franca Giansoldati, in IlMessagero.it (2 April), mentions similar events. Among them:
- In 2013, on the day Benedict XVI renounced the papacy, a bolt of lightning struck the large iron cross at the top of St Peter's.
- In January 2014, Francis released a "dove of peace" during the Angelus, which was immediately attacked and mortally wounded by a crow and a seagull in flight.
- In June 2016, during Francis' trip to Armenia, he released doves at the Turkish border that inexplicably returned.
- In August 2018, the roof of the 400-year-old church of San Giuseppe dei Falegnami in Rome collapsed. The church is entrusted to the Jesuits and dedicated to St Joseph, the patron saint of the Church.
There are many other signs, let us remember for example his falls, especially the one before St. Mary of Guadalupe when he dared to place himself before the Venerable Plasmation of the Mother of God. Let us also remember the crozier that broke. And of the recent signs, in Buenos Aires, on the birthday of the usurper, a lightning bolt destroyed, removing them, the keys to a statue of St. Peter, etc.
