Orthodox Church Snubs Pope Francis on Bulgaria Visit

Orthodox Church Snubs Pope Francis on Bulgaria Visit by Thomas D Williams, Ph. D. for Breitbart

GNN Note – The satanic globalist pope-on-dope shouldn’t be surprised at this reaction. The pope has proven time and again that he is more closely aligned with the enemy than with Jesus Christ.
