Papal Brotherhood Forges Vatican�s First Fraternity of Friars

Under the banner of �Faith, Firewood, and Friendship,� Pope Leo XIV and Father Mart�n have founded the Vatican�s first officially sanctioned friar fraternity. Known as *Fratres Sanctissimi Barbae*, or �Holy Beard Bros,� the group prioritizes communal humility, silent prayer, and coordinated carpentry. New friars must brew beer, quote Augustine in casual conversation, and win at least one thumb war in Latin. Matching hoodies embroidered with �God�s Dudes� have been approved. The Pope insists, �It�s not a bro-code. It�s a beatitude.�
