The snopes article doesn’t say it’s outright false, just that it’s not based on available evidence. So stating it as fact rather than rumor is misinformation.
The Vatican has failed to deny it for over 20 years of inquiry. The impact of this claim is benign compared to pretty much anything else the church has factually done.
it’s funny and harmless, meme on.
