In February: Pope Leo sent 80 generators, thousands of medical supplies to Ukraine

Pope Leo XIV has sent 80 electric generators and thousands of medical supplies to Ukraine to help civilians cope with freezing winter temperatures and constant attacks, the Vatican announced on Feb. 9.

The aid was arranged in response to appeals from bishops who warned of mounting difficulties caused by Russia’s attacks on energy infrastructure and subzero temperatures across the country.

Three trucks carrying the generators and medical supplies departed from the Basilica of Saint Sophia in Rome and have already arrived in Fastiv and Kyiv, areas heavily affected by recent strikes.

Alongside the generators, thousands of medical supplies were delivered, including antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, supplements, and melatonin, which Vatican officials said is in high demand as Ukrainians struggle with stress and sleep deprivation amid ongoing attacks.

The Vatican added that preparations are underway to send another shipment of medicine and food, with distribution coordinated through parish networks across Ukraine.

Since assuming the papacy last year, Pope Leo has called for "a just and lasting peace" in Ukraine and has offered to host peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow at the Vatican.

Zelensky has expressed support for such an initiative, while Russian officials have thus far rejected the proposal.

Before becoming pope, Leo XIV denounced Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine while serving as Bishop of Chiclayo in Peru.

---- "The moron pope likes Islam much more than Orthodox, even though Orthodox is a Christian faith that is 80% in common with Catholicism, unlike Islam that is 5% in common with Catholicism."

Surely seems so.

"Fr Giacomo Cardinali, Vice Prefect, said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that Muslim academics had requested a small area in which to pray, and the library had agreed. 'Some Muslim scholars have asked us for a room with a carpet for praying and we have given it to them,' he said."

"The Vatican Apostolic Library does indeed allow Muslims a room for prayer. But, importantly, it does not appear to be a generally accessible Islamic prayer space but rather one designated for the 'Muslim scholars' that may be on site at the time. Further, it was only opened at the request of scholars themselves."

"Pope Leo XIV has in his ministry so far placed an emphasis on interfaith dialogue. In May, Pope Leo hosted inter-religious delegations at the Holy See to boost ecumenism, saying that Christians should unite 'in a spirit of human fraternity.' Pope Leo's language mirrors that of his predecessor, Pope Francis, who 'promoted both the ecumenical path and inter-religious dialogue,' the current Pope said."

Reading the comments on "Faith Image's Post" is most amusing and suggests "a room with a carpet" in which Islamic prayers are said is a mosque, when all is said and done.

"The term usually refers to a covered building, but can be any place where Islamic prayers are performed; such as an outdoor courtyard.'
Mosque Wiki

It's a mosque. A peater room for Islamic prayers. It's a mosque in the Vatican Library, because "ecumenicism."

Meanwhile in Islam ----

"Allah's Messenger (blah-blah) said, 'The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax'."

Got it? Break the cross. And their "son of Mary" is named Issa who did NOT die on the cross, and so not Jesus.

Leo the Ecumenical shows himself a relativist, at best. And Cardinali, Vice Prefect, doesn't know the basic meaning of "mosque."
