Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Tuesday on Pope Francis to mediate in his country's conflict with Russia to help alleviate human suffering, nearly one month into Moscow's invasion.

Man has been cut loose by state department and has to think for himself.
Truly desperate for a papal negotiation.
How many Divisions has the Pope?
He’s doing his job the best way he can, whether he turns out to be a white hat or a black hat by the time this is over. Doing things that benefit and protect his citizens and his country are his job.
Our job is to evaluate what our response should be based on our interests, and our moral compass.
Why call Multi-Culti Frank into this? Until a very recent time, both Ukraine and Russia shared a common Orthodox Faith and religious leadership.
Well at least he’s not begging for money and weapons from the Pope. So that’s a start In the right direction. I assumed Ukrainians were mostly Eastern Orthodox though .
How will a lecture on Climate Change by the Pope be helpful?
He’ll just make things worse.
He’d be better off asking any of the crew from “Shark Tank” to try to mediate this mess.
Soros probably recommended him since they all are members of the WEF.
Ya Francis go wash Vlad’s feet!
The sticking points are likely to be what weapons Ukraine will be allowed to have and the boundaries of the Russian-backed republics.
These sticking points need to be dealt with in written detail and fast.
About 1000 Russians & Ukrainians are getting killed each day.
Zelensky tried to call on God for help. God said “I’m busy”.
Talk to my second in command.
The pope is a communist, so naturally, he’s going to be on the side of Russia and even China’s side, while he’s recently been on the side of the Muslims.
Zelensky has offered to convert to Catholicism if the Pope will save him from Putin.
Not the Pope, he “Better Call Saul”.
I think there are few here who study Bible Prophecy, who don’t buy the evangelical pre trib rapture line, who have studied Daniel, and Revelation, etc. and God’s holy law and etc.
And you know who you are.....and this should not be any surprise to you. We know what is to come. And it’s exciting!
In Western Ukraine, the Ukrainian Byzantine Catholic Church is predominate. In Lviv, the Mother Church of the Ukrainian Catholics is Saint George. The reunion with Rome took place about 30 years after the Council of Trent, around 1595 (Union of Brest) the Ukrainian Byzantine Catholic Church in then Lithuania broke with Constantinople and entered Communion with Poland’s Latin (Roman) Catholics and the Pope. However, the Ukrainian Byzantine Catholic Church retained all of its Liturgical and sacramental practices (Eastern Tradition) as opposed to adopting Latin-Roman Rite Liturgical and sacramental practices.
In addition, in the Eastern part of Ukraine, you have 2 separate Orthodox Patriarchs, One who is part of the Russian Orthodox or under Patriarch Krill’s Jurisdiction and other that is a separate Ukrainian Orthodox Patriarch that is not under the Moscow Patriarch. The Ukrainian Orthodox Patriarch not aligned with Moscow was recognized by the Ecumenical Patriarch in Constantinople which produced a schism as the Russian Orthodox Church has broken communion with the Ecumenical Patriarch.
That is the jest of it but it would probably be better to get an Orthodox Theologian perspective on it from an Orthodox website, etc.
No the Pope is a European style Marxist more closely tied to Soros.
