Russian President Vladimir Putin and Pope Francis discussed the issue of protection of Christians in regional conflict zones and cooperation in the cultural-humanitarian sphere in a phone call on Saturday, the Kremlin said in a statement

This Pope is a little late to the game. Very Sad. Our country isn’t even in the game or isn’t playing in all of the quarters. Our Heavenly Father has great rewards for those who are persecuted for their belief in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There is victory in Jesus. The battle has already been won. . .it is just a matter of time (perhaps sooner than we think) when God is going to give Jesus the nod to come back again in the clouds. Everyone. . .be ready. Now is the time for Salvation.
Francis didn’t call O?
Putin called the Pope, presumably in order to explain to him that the Muslim terrorists are not good to the Christians there. Unfortunately, the Pope doesn’t get it.
Pretty sad when Putin is, by default, a defender of faith in the physical sense.
