Russian Patriarch says Orthodox faithful are holding back the antichrist

Thu, April 7, 2022, 10:28 AM

LONDON (Reuters) - The head of the Russian Orthodox faith was quoted as saying on Thursday that his church and its faithful were holding back the antichrist.

Patriarch Kirill was speaking six weeks into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has forced over 4 million people to flee, killed or injured thousands and left cities and towns destroyed.

While he was not quoted specifically referring to Ukraine, Kirill's comments backed the Kremlin line on the war by implying that Russia's actions there were a forced response to a foreign aggressor.

Anything can be justified, regardless of how horrific. The false utterances of the Russian Orthodox leader are far worse than any oligarch could muster. If there is indeed a God witnessing this travesty, some well_placed lightning strikes are in order!
