Коли в Україні гупає артилерія, а храми горять від “братньої любові”, митрополит Антоній із благословення патріарха Кирила здійснює паломництво… до Ватикану. Не для молитви, звісно — а для “будівництва мостів”.
🌉 Because, as we know, the Moscow Patriarchate loves bridges. Especially the ones on temporarily occupied territories.
💬 Antony delivered a “message of peace” to the Pope. Clearly not from Ukrainian refugees, but from the “hybrid archimandrite” — head of the Moscow Patriarchate’s foreign relations and, part-time, spiritual advisor to Russia’s Ministry of Defense.
📸 An icon as a gift, a few phrases about “persecution” — and voilà, a headline is born: “The Moscow Patriarchate continues to bear witness to Christ’s truth, even if it means flying business class via Istanbul.”
🇻🇦 According to eyewitnesses, the Pope was touched — almost as much as during his previous meeting with representatives from North Korea.
⚠️ But most notably: not a single word about the war. Because, as one of Antony’s subdeacons explained:
“We’re not politicians. We just sincerely support the peaceful special operation of spiritual unification with our brotherly nation. With tanks. And drones.”
🧠 Brekhunets 24 Analysis::
If something smells off in the Vatican, it might just be the smoke of “peaceful fire” used to cover those who once blessed the invasion.
📌 Reminder to our readers::
The next ROC delegation is heading to Mecca.
Because if you're going to lie — do it globally.
