Regarding the Russo-Ukrainian War

 

From CNN:

 

 

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, is among the individuals who will be included in the proposed sixth round of European Union sanctions, according to two sources who have seen the full documents.

 

In an interview this week, Pope Francis slammed Kirill for endorsing Russia's stated reasons for invading Ukraine, warning him to not become "Putin's altar boy."

 

In response, the Russian Orthodox Church said Pope Francis had used the “wrong tone” in characterizing his meeting with Patriarch Kirill and called the Pope’s comments “regrettable.”

A condescending chastisement, indeed

 

Since when does one religion's head tell another that he is full of shit — for international publication?

 

 

“I spoke to him for 40 minutes via Zoom,” the Pope told Italian daily Corriere della Sera in an interview published Tuesday.

 

“The first 20 minutes he read to me, with a card in hand, all the justifications for war.”

 

“I listened and told him: I don’t understand anything about this," said the Pope. "Brother, we are not clerics of state, we cannot use the language of politics but that of Jesus.”

 

“The Patriarch cannot transform himself into Putin’s altar boy,” the Pope said.

What strategically effective point lies in yelling . . .

 

. . . "Screw your God, too!"?

 

One would think that these European nitwits — including Rome's apparently Schism-aggravating Pope — would think just a bit, before opening their hostility-mongering yaps.

 

 

The moral? — the West escalates its World War 3-promoting shrieking at every turn

 

The door to the Satanic Monkey Cage is wide open.
