"Russian President Vladimir Putin......showed off his religious side during his visit to the Vatican,
stopping to cross himself and kiss an icon of the Madonna that he gave Pope Francis.
Francis gave Putin a ceramic mosaic of the Vatican gardens, and Putin presented Francis with an image of the icon of the Madonna of Vladimir, an important religious icon for the Russian Orthodox faithful.
After they exchanged the gifts, Putin asked Francis if he liked the icon, and Francis said he did. Putin then crossed himself and kissed the image, and Francis followed suit.
The Argentine pope is particularly devoted to Marian icons." SRN
Hmmm...what other heads of Churches (other than maybe the Russian Orthodox) does Putin "visit"?
...and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:3
P.S. ... the Little Horn of Daniel & Beast of Revelation are NOT any particular Pope, but rather the entity of Papal Rome.
