Russian Invasion Of Ukraine ‘shameful Disaster, Says Pope Francis by God1000(op): 6:30pm On Nov 20, 2024

Pope Francis marked 1,000 days since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine Wednesday, calling it a “shameful disaster for humanity” at an audience attended by First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska.

“Yesterday marked 1,000 days since the invasion of Ukraine. A tragic anniversary for the victims and the destruction it has caused,” the Argentine pope said at the end of his weekly general audience at the Vatican.

But at the same time, (it is) a shameful disaster for all humanity,” he added in front of the thousands of faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square, where Zelenska sat with the first ladies of Armenia, Lithuania and Serbia.

He expressed his closeness to the “martyred Ukrainian people” and called for efforts “so that weapons give way to dialogue”.

Francis then read a letter addressed to him by a Ukrainian student in which he describes the war and how people are suffering.

Russia launched its full-scale attack on Ukraine in February 2022 and since then, the pope has frequently called for an end to the conflict.

He's right, but the condemnation should go beyond Russia.

Israel's killing of innocent Palestinians is also shameful, he should summon the courage and condemn the senseless massacre in Gaza, stop all the killings and land grabbing from Benue to Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan

We need peace, love and unity

Where are we going from here. I have a feeling 2025 may be another warring year at the global stage. It's now a proxy war between NATO and Russia.

The pope may not be perfect and by so doing, made errors in statements. What I noticed is that the pope is very honest to a fault, just like Donald Trump. The same pope once advised Zelensky to avoid an altercation with Russia, not because he's pro Russia but simply because of the potential losses in human lives and properties. They're more interested in saying and standing on what they believe in, not the deceivers who just want to make political statements undecided

Hmn.... It's good to condemn the war.

It's good to condemn all wars.

But the reality is that some wars are inevitable.

Oh yes, inevitable.

What brought Israel to this? have you for one day condemn what hamas did on 7th October ? when things don't go your way, you change your tune, crying foul and calling for peace. Your behavior is the epitome of double standards. Today, you stand firmly against wars, preaching about the importance of harmony and non-violence. But tomorrow, when it suits your agenda, you support conflict and aggression. This inconsistency undermines your credibility as your moniker says and reveals your true nature as someone who shifts principles based on convenience rather than conviction.

Says the Pope of the same Roman Catholic Church which championed the invasion and occupations of territories of other countries in the name of spreading the reach of Christianity.

If he's that humane, why hasn't he condemned Israel's ongoing genocide in Palestine and Lebanon?

He should get the fvck away from our faces!
