Smartphone users warned to be careful of the Antichrist
By Anastasia Clark and Chris Bell, 3 hours ago
People's dependence on smartphones and modern technology could bring about the coming of the Antichrist, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church has warned.
Russian social media users largely responded with humour and scepticism, while some accused the Church of "serving the regime".
Speaking to Russian state TV, Patriarch Kirill said smartphone users should be careful when using the "worldwide web of gadgets" because it represented "an opportunity to gain global control over mankind".
"The Antichrist is the person who will be at the head of the worldwide web, controlling all of humankind," he said.
