The newly appointed Pope Leo XIV spoke out against Russia’s continued war against Ukraine in an interview on May 9.
Speaking with Peruvian news outlet Semanario Expresión, Pope Leo condemned Russia’s war against Ukraine, characterizing it as a "a true invasion, imperialist in nature, where Russia seeks to conquer territory for reasons of power.”
Pope Leo was appointed just earlier this week on May 8, following the death of Pope Francis on April 21 at the age of 88. On May 7, cardinals officially opened the historic conclave in the Vatican to choose the next head of the Catholic Church.
By clearing naming Russia’s imperialist aspirations in Ukraine, the new pope’s comments come as a departure from his predecessor’s position on the war.
Legend.
.ml in disarray.
How can they be tankies AND give a shit about what the Pope says?
They just don’t like their cognitive dissonance challenged doesn’t matter who’s who. It hurts the peanut brain.
It’s cultural jamming, they just argue no matter the detail as their goal isn’t intellectual honesty or persuasion, it’s disruption of social fabric and generally drowning out any possible consensus.
In their defense, they learned it from watching corporate pr firms, but even those had resource constraints.
The Pope! How many divisions has he got?
I tried to come up with an answer and I cant
Hey @admiralpatrick, come say your catchphrase!
Anyway, the answer is: if they didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.
There are Catholic Communists. The world does not conform to your perception of drama on a tiny collection of web forums.
Ah yeah, the Cattocomunisti, as we call them in Italy. Too bad there is no such thing in the reality of the application of the Catholic doctrine.
Am I wrong?
Jesus was a tankie. I mean OK the Romans killed every Jewish firstborn but the Persian empire would have been even worst
A Communist, such as I also can say I am, is not a tankie.
What the hell is with the last few years and suddenly nobody knowing that “worse” and “worst” are two different words with different meanings?
phone keyboards universally suck.
Worldists cheerings for a guy who protect pedos if it allows their country to sell more bombs
The world is cheering that the world pedo protecting org is not using its political influence to spread further political disarray. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good
Ah yes Jesus would have wanted us to send more bombs. He famously talked about slapping back harder
Russia and Israel should stop their wars then
Maybe given that the two of them are allies, we should stop sending send weapons altogether.
