Zelensky Holds ‘Very Warm’ Call with Pope Leo XIV, Invites Him to Ukraine
Breitbart ^ | 05/12/2025 | Frances Martel

Posted on 05/12/2025 6:56:07 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The Vatican and President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Monday that Pope Leo XIV had spoken with the Ukrainian head of state, offering support to find an end to the ongoing invasion of his country.

Vatican News, the official news outlet of the Holy See, offered few details on the conversation, reinforcing Zelensky’s public comments on the matter.

Zelensky published an image on social media of himself apparently taking the pontiff’s phone call, praising Pope Leo for a “very warm and truly substantive” conversation.

“I thanked His Holiness for his support of Ukraine and all our people. We deeply value his words about the need to achieve a just and lasting peace for our country and the release of prisoners,” Zelensky wrote. “We also discussed the thousands of Ukrainian children deported by Russia. Ukraine counts on the Vatican’s assistance in bringing them home to their families.”

Is there any head of state he hasn’t spoken to? He enjoys his fame. Will he ever allow an election and risk losing it?

A lady I work with is from the Ukraine. She grew up under soviet times.

She loves Z and hangs on his every word. She voted for Trump but says his policy towards Ukraine is terrible. Whatever that means.

Only after he accumulates enough money in his secret bank accounts.

It means she has swallowed a lot of propaganda since there's no leader on this planet who is trying harder to bring about peace in Ukraine than Trump.

The Vatican , Pope, doesn’t NOT support Zelensky. He is well aware of the mass corruption in the Ukie government.

The Pope supports ending the war, and knows very well St Z is prolonging it. Anything else is just St Z propaganda.

The propaganda for Ukraine started Under Trump’s first term When Colonel Flounder Reported Trump’s phone call to the president of Ukraine.

That caused them to jump on Trump so hard and so fast It was clearThat something was going on there that they didn’t want Trump looking into.

TrumpFound the heart of global corruption

Seems to me it means she should decide to be an American and stop worrying about the extrtionist dancer

Ukraine will run out of fighting men long before they could dream of winning against the Russians

A fifth grade boy can tell you that on the bus ride home. Maybe she should go over there and fight. Until then she should do her job here and shut up

She should get her us citizenship. She’d learn what our country is

---- "Zelensky shaking down the new Pope for money? (S)"

Funny excerpt from the article: "Zelensky published an image on social media of himself ...."

The Vatican, in this time, has some big problems of its own to sort out.

Pope Leo XIV Faces Financial Headache as New Catholic Church Leader Newsweek, 9 May 2025

The Vatican Financial Mess Pope Francis Couldn't Fix WSJ via MSN, 6 May 2025

Priceless art, empty coffers: The Vatican is in a disastrous financial crisis YNet, 12 May 2025

How Pope Francis failed to fix the Vatican's finances Financial Times, 1 May 2025

Meanwhile, we're in about $37 trillion in debt, Europe is becoming mired in debt, and the whole "shake down" game in so many ways is teetering.

Proposed solution for some? Bang on the begging bowl even louder.

Sounds good but where did you get these ideas?

What fame? ;)

Pope Leo was just selected into power, and hardly anybody knows anything about him. But, he is a far-left pope, so, don't expect much from him.

Oops! I just realized that you were talking about Zelensky. My bad. I'll come back to this post and correct accordingly. ;)
