Pope Francis on Sunday condemned Ukraine’s decision to ban the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church in the country.

Details: The Pope stated that he is still deeply troubled by the war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
Quote: “And in thinking about the laws recently adopted in Ukraine, I fear for the freedom of those who pray, because those who truly pray always pray for all. A person does not commit evil because of praying,” said the Pope.
He added that those “who want to pray” should be allowed to pray in the church they consider their own.
“Please, let no Christian Church be abolished directly or indirectly. Churches are not to be touched!” Francis said.
He urged everyone to continue praying for the end of the war.
On 24 August, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a law banning the activities of religious organisations connected with Russia.
The purpose of the law is to ban the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church and religious organisations affiliated with it in Ukraine.
During his visit to Italy, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Pope Francis on the eve of the Peace Summit. They talked about the role of the Holy See in establishing a just and sustainable peace for Ukraine.

This pope is as shitty as a pope can be. I’ve never heard him criticize the ruskie orthodox “church” even once when it supports the war, supports the fascist crime syndicate, and blesses weapons, including weapons of mass destruction. It’s much easier to criticize the victim of this war!
Socialists sure stick together and politics is their active religion. We see it here every day. Rules, laws, tradition, culture all be damned in the name of Karl Marx.
Pope Tankie the 1st has pitched in with nazi-loving garbage Moscow Marge and Fucker Karlsonov.
Again.
This pope is a complete disgrace and further tarnishes an already tarnished Catholic Church.
No surprise here. One pope supported nazis in ww2. This one supports nazis also.
You’d figure that the Catholic Church has enough dirt of its own to clean up after, much less trying to cover up the dirt of another dirty church that really is not a church at all.
You heard it Catholics, the ban on the Russia genocidal Orthodox is wrong and it should be allowed to bless the ethnic cleansing of whomever Russia opposes politically, which is EVERYONE. This Pope needs to retire.
👍
Apparently, Putin has some incriminating evidence about the Pope. The Pope is a complete joke and a hypocrite.

“Please, let no Christian Church be abolished directly or indirectly. Churches are not to be touched!”
No christian church was abolished, just a KGB spy gang. If he wants to talk about churches, let him condemn the supporters of this filthy organisation pretending to be a church, that destroyed hundreds of churches in Ukraine.
Yep, all they have to do is follow Kyiv in Ukraine instead of Moscow in Ukraine. Its a no-brainer.
