"Your Holiness, on behalf of the Ukrainian people and myself, I heartily congratulate you on your 80th anniversary. I wish you good health, spiritual inspiration and God's blessing in the discharge of your incredibly important mission," the message read.
The media promptly reacted by taking numerous screen shots of Poroshenko's mistake, which was quickly erased from the website, with the open letter now stating the correct age, 79. No comment has been made so far from the Ukrainian president's office.
Pope Francis was born on December 17, 1936. He has won the hearts of Catholics and non-believers alike for his humble and humane attitude.
Comment: It's understandable that Poroshenko would make that mistake, what with all the killing of civilians and demonizing Russia on his schedule every day. He's a busy guy, he can't be expected to keep up with everything!
Not only that, but it seems fitting that the Ukrainian nazis are in debt to the IMF and refuse to pay their debts to the Russian Federation because they just can't count. Nor can they hold themselves accountable for their corruption or failed finances. It figures that they aren't competent at figures. They aren't even disgusting.
