On 17 January 2019, the blog Laughing in Disbelief published an entry headlined Italy Arrests Cardinals and Seizes Vatican City: Although many readers saw the article's headline circulating on social media and wondered if the story were true, observant audience members may have noticed the definition of the surname of the putative law enforcement inspector, Canard, is a false or unfounded report or story. Although the Patheos platform that is home to Laughing in Disbelief offers serious perspectives on religion and spirituality, material posted on the Laughing in Disbelief blog is satirical in nature rather than real news. Under a tab labelled Is this satire?, the article notes that The story you are reading is satirical. The post may have links to real events that the satire is based on, but the Laughing in Disbelief article is fake. There are winks to readers in each piece besides the link(s) to this page that I humbly offer as hints that the story in question is satirical. Maybe there is someone in the story who has a name derived from canard?
