Are you flying the colors of Vatican City? It might be a literal false flag.

Catholic News Agency reports — based on some prior Reddit sleuthing — that a bunch of Vatican City flags out in the world are wrong because they’re based on a bogus file from Wikimedia Commons.

According to the file history, the fateful edit was made in July, 2017 for purposes of “color correction.”

(The reverted file can be seen below.)
