„Heuchlerisch“, die Ukraine zu bewaffnen, sagt Papst Franziskus und schweigt zum russischen Terror – Euromaidan Press

From the article

The pontiff criticized European weapons deliveries to Ukraine while calling for peace negotiations, yet notably refrained from urging Russia to withdraw its invasion forces or release deported Ukrainians.

Pope Francis, commenting on the war in Ukraine for Orbe 21 channel, stated that it is hypocritical to talk about peace while simultaneously arming it against Russia’s aggression, Vatican News reported.

Once again, the pontiff neither urged Russia to withdraw its troops from Ukraine nor called on the Kremlin to release forcibly deported Ukrainians. Any negotiated peace with Russia would likely lead to the partial or full legalization of Russia’s control over the parts of Ukraine it has occupied. Despite the widespread outrage these statements consistently provoke, Pope Francis continues to advocate for talks with Russia without directly urging it to end its war of aggression.

Speaking about the situation in Ukraine, Pope Francis expressed concern that numerous appeals for peace from international organizations were ignored. He also sees a contradiction between promoting peace and investing in military capabilities.

He directed specific criticism at Europe for its ongoing supply of weapons to Ukraine, emphasizing that arms manufacturing remains one of the continent’s most profitable sectors.

“We organize conferences and meetings, yet we continue producing weapons to kill,” he said.

The Pope also warned of a “general tendency toward self-destruction through war.” He called for an urgent peace treaty but noted that discussions about peace often get bogged down in secondary issues. He voiced particular concern over “young Ukrainians being sent to the front lines,” adding that “Ukraine has few men left, while Russia has many.”

This was a pretty shocking thing to read coming from the Pope, given everything Ukraine has had to endure. 

There you go. It’s ok to assault, rape, murder and kill anyone you want. If they retaliate or try to defend themselves, it’s hypocritical.

The church wonders why people are losing faith.

Cowards

Why is he commenting on world affairs? Maybe he should stick to religion.

And he’s like an expert on hypocrisy so he’d know!

bad person

The guy is a joke and on the wrong side of the history, as usual.

Thanks to leaders like the pope I lose faith in religion more each day.

He’s probably on the take adding his voice to the morally and spiritually dubious side who sends their people to slaughter for land, instead of the one that values life and defends their own.

The pope can go to hell. If he represents god then there isn’t one believing in.

What does putin have on him??

And this is why I don’t give a lick of respect to whatever this Put-licker pope says.

left-wing argentineans sure have a weird attraction for russia

This pope can go fuck himself. That’s all.

Nothing but deluded men who aren’t living in reality

Is he becoming totally senile or is it just stupidity. On the other side the catholic church was often on the wrong side of history.

This is why, in my opinion, people are stopping having babies and cancelling the human race. All leaders are trying to force us to accept things that are bad for us while pretending that things that are good for us don’t even exist. Like fighting evil would be good for us, too bad catholics think that just laying back and letting violations happen is the best we can do.

Nice job, Pope. In one swoop you probably made Christianity less popular in Ukraine with your statement.
