Both nations are Orthodox. The Pope’s offer is odd.
Good idea
The Orthodox Church would be seen as a party
Interesting. Possibly encouraging.
ROTFL! What’s he going to do? Get them on their knees for divine forgiveness and tell them to say 100 “Hail Marys”?
I agree- put his money where his mouth is, unlike the last Pope who was a hypocritical POS....
Maybe the Pope can get all the parties involved to sign on the dotted line with his musical talents alone. Though I’m on the fence if this video is legitimate as I don’t see the Pope working his leg on the Wah Wah pedal.

“It’s all tragic because we hoped that a process would begin, perhaps slowly, but with a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Instead, we are back to square one.”
How does he know that?
The First Pope Leo ( LEO I, his real name too ) actually persuaded the Pagan conqueror, Attila the Hun, not to invade Western Europe! He had already conquered large parts of Europe.
An amazing feat, bordering on the miraculous!
That’s why he was known as Leo the Great.
Who knows what this other Leo can do… strange and unusual things do happen.

Nice. Both nations should accept
I think he wants to hear their confession.
Popes need to sick to Pope business and stay out of politics.
Ukraine is majority-Orthodox, but the Catholic Church has had a toehold (~20% of Ukrainians) since the Council of Brest in the late 1590s when several Orthodox bishops switched to the Catholic side on the condition that they could retain the Byzantine liturgy, rites, calendar, etc.
Is he trying to upstage Trump???
The Pope as God’s representative is a man of peace it is his duty to stop the killing of God’s children in any way possible. It is his duty to as the representative of a loving God to do so. Hopefully both sides agree the Holy City is neutral and Holy ground what better place to bring peace between two Christian nation’s. It’s not politics it’s God’s will.
The Pope is American. No way will Russia trust this Pope so soon after he became Pope.
They will see this as a set up.
I would think that is the case. The globalists are probably behind this.
I never saw Frankie as what you described. Sorry, I don’t.
Neither side in this war is Catholic.
