Pope Francis, the spiritual leader of Catholics and the head of the Vatican State, criticized the Ukrainian government’s decision to ban the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church linked to the Moscow Patriarchate.
During his traditional Sunday prayer… Regarding Ukraine’s decision to ban churches affiliated with the Moscow Patriarchate, Pope Francis said: “I continue to follow the conflicts in Ukraine and the Russian Federation with great pain, and I am concerned about the recent laws passed in Ukraine…
No Christian church should be closed, directly or indirectly. Churches are inviolable,” he added.”

Wait, the dude who instead of punishing pedophiles just hides them elsewhere is on the side of the country who actively recruits American pedophiles?
Im shocked.

If the Great Schism is to be reconciled, it will be with the churches of Eastern Europe, Near East and Constantinople, not the falsehoods of the Moscow Patriarchy. It long ago sold its soul and that of its adherents to the whims of its Kremlin masters. Redemption will take more than direct appeals to the Russian state church Putin wants, which sidelines the discussion quickly into the needs of his state, not the faithful.
The tactics and optics matter here, best to make the course correction now.

The Pope is a typical Latin American leftist of his generation. They supported Fidel, the Soviet Union, shouted “Viva la revolución” and hated the capitalist West, especially the U.S. Brazil’s President Lula is another example of this. They’ll never change.

Interesting considering the Russian Orthodox Church doesn’t even recognize the Pope as their leader.

The catholic church is a very rich organization, and it spreads fear, protects pedophiles and tries to pretend there is room for their own hierarchy where their own leaders are more close to god than others, on earth. I am not surprised by this article, and have no love for the damage the catholic church brings this world.

Pope stood with Nazi’s during WW2, no surprise here.

Just like WW2 they picked the wrong side

This should be no surprise to anyone. The Catholic Church is, and always has been, an authoritarian organization. They were in the pockets of the German Nazis and Spanish and Italian Fascists, and still are. This pope is no different, although he pretends to be.

It’s becoming more and more apparent that those who sit in the highest seats of power, think completely in opposite of thoughts and feelings experienced by the common man.

Not a surprise there, he opens his mouth & we all see he’s working for Putin. The Pope is no longer working for god, but for Putin the new god.

The pope has swallowed the Russian propaganda and thinks this requires both-sidisms when really its a moral test. Which he utterly fails.
