Darren Grimes appeared to post a picture from the BBC regarding the Pope’s death, but deleted it really quickly.
He wrote: ” I’m so angry about this typical BBC using Muslim woman in a report about Pope Francis dying.”
It seems this post was deleted pretty quickly.
X’s Grok was asked if it was true and replied: “Yes, it seems true. Darren Grimes likely made and deleted an X post where he mistook nuns for Muslim women in a BBC report about Pope Francis’ burial choice at St. Mary Major. A screenshot shared by @I_amMukhtar shows the error, and Grimes appears to have deleted the post after being corrected. The mistake is understandable since traditional nuns’ habits can visually resemble some Muslim women’s attire, but the context of the report—centered on a Catholic basilica—points to nuns. This reflects a common social media error, quickly corrected by community feedback.”
The Grok was asked to undelete his tweet, and replied: “I can’t undelete Darren Grimes’ post, as that’s not possible on X. Tagging him might not be helpful, since he deleted it after mistaking Catholic nuns for Muslim women in a BBC report about Pope Francis’ burial at St. Mary Major. The error likely came from similar attire—nun habits can resemble hijabs. Grimes corrected it by deleting the post. This shows the need for cultural literacy. Fun fact: St. Mary Major houses the Salus Populi Romani icon, dear to Pope Francis. Let’s learn from this and move forward.”
