ROME – In new comments to Italian media, the Vatican’s Secretary of State has said recent remarks by Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill will only make tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war worse, and said a second meeting with the pope is unlikely.
Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin also spoke of his recent phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, saying the conversation proved to be unhelpful.
Speaking to Italian media at the close of an event called Sui Tetti, or “On the Rooftops,” March 9, Parolin said “Kirill’s words do not favor and do not promote an understanding.”
“On the contrary, they risk aggravating spirits even more and going towards an escalation and not resolving the crisis in a peaceful way,” he said.
In recent days, Kirill, who until recently has refrained from making any direct remarks in favor of or against Russia’s war with Ukraine, has delivered two sermons in which he departed from a neutral stance and conveyed a clear pro-Russia position in line with that of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On March 6, when the Russian Orthodox Church observed “Forgiveness Sunday” before the beginning of their Lent, Kirill backed separatists in Ukraine’s eastern Donbass region and suggested that an unnamed western body of nations is organizing genocide campaigns against countries that refuse to hold gay pride parades.

With a Pope like Francis, a second meeting is unlikely to be very productive.
The Easterns and Russian Orthodox want nothing to do with Francis.
Neither do many Catholics...myself included.
“Kirill’s words do not favor and do not promote an understanding.”
And it was observed in a restroom recently, that he urinated standing up!
Why should Kirill talk with that Commie?
The Pope’s church seems to be the NWO.
That church, along with World Council of Churches, will be the mouthpiece for the Prophet of the anti-Christ to use in controlling the people and using those great revenue sources.
Guess which one’s the commie
It will be syncretistic faith. Pantheism/paganism (greenism) old time Roman religion/worship of Emperor which covers all the bases of nature worship and worship of man. Can see it evolving this way each day
Guess which one is the Putin's stooge.
