Why not call for a full Russian withdrawl instead? Why should the defenders of their homeland be the ones to surrender?

The fact that a former Superpower was not able to roll Ukraine in the first 10 days, 100 days, what is it now? 745 days... yeah. It's time for Russia to get out.

Pope is really out of touch on this.

Dear Pope: Direct your fucking comments to the guy who is invading Ukraine. Thanks.

Pope Francis really all over the board with political beliefs, the dude went from liberal ally gay marriage officiator to conservative facebooker in record time.

So fucking naive. Dude really thinks the Ruskis will stop committing atrocities when the Ukrainians surrender.

I kick in your front door and kill two of your kids. I then plant mines at the entrances to your living room and kitchen, eat all the food from the refrigerator and shoot at you if you try to come downstairs. You need to end this aggression, it's unseemly and it's getting people hurt. Just cede the living room and the kitchen, you wouldn't want to escalate things. Also I can't help but notice that your basement and upstairs bathroom are looking pretty liberateable.

“Leader of a child sex abuse cult says stupid shit.”

Tell you what popeman, how about you get rid of all the kid rapists in your organization before you give anyone else advice on anything... Ever.

had used the term white flag “to indicate a cessation of hostilities, a truce reached with the courage of negotiation”. He repeated the pontiff’s call for a “diplomatic solution in search of a just and lasting peace”

That's kinda hard when Russia bombs humanitary corridors, ceasefire equals rearm and regroup and nothing else, and the last diplomatic solution was used as toilet paper to start the current war.

Leader of single largest pedophile ring in history thinks X.

This Is how they should report on this piece of shit every time he opens up his cocksucker.

Russian state TV host Vladimir Solovyov berated Pope Francis for "sticking his nose where it does not belong" and suggesting negotiations. Solovyov said that Russia has no interest in negotiations and does not recognize the Pope as a spiritual leader....so I guess the pope should wave the white flag...

When the Pope allows all sexual abusers in the Faith be prosecuted and held accountable for their disgusting and morally evil crimes then maybe I'll give a fuck what he has to say about anything. Out of touch old man doesn't get to protect kiddy fiddlers and then try and preach to others.

Fuck the pope. Glad that I already exited the Catholic Church a few years ago...

Isn’t religion suffering from people leaving and no new blood entering for growth? Maybe the Catholic Church can wave the white flag?

Fuck the pope, I mean, pedophile pimp.

I didn’t know that the Pope was a tankie!

What an arsehole .

The Ukrainians should capitulate like the Franks at Poitiers or the Venetians at the Battle of Lepanto, or the Austrians at the Battle of Vienna. Perhaps if the Ukranians were Catholic, the Pope might support their resistance more.

"Could you please stop defending yourself. And let it happen." - Some guy who likes to cover up child abuse

First scaremongering people about "gender ideology", and now shilling for Russia. Is Pope doing some sort of mask off?

Fuck that pope.

I don't like it, but this might be the most actual Christian approach. Jesus preached a lot of pacifism...

But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

I mean I don't agree with him but he is sticking to his beliefs here. Something something turn the other cheek.

I would have expected Patriarch Kirill to say something like this. But the Pope? Not so much.

Let's just take that white flag, add a blue stripe in the middle, and give it to the Russians to raise.

Oh wait, they would go to jail. Well let's help them make the upcoming elections actually fair for once.

Oh wait, that would be the 2020 Belarusian protests all over again. Well let's just simply wait until we get a new Pope. Surely it can't take too long.

So brave

Pax vobiscum.

Let's take bets: How long before The President of Ukraine issues the following public statement: "Pope Francis... We Ukranians have heard your suggestion, and propose a trade. We'll raise our white flag to Russia, when every last one of your priests permanently lays off the boy raping, and all your nuns start diddling each other, instead of all those little girls who've ended up in their clutches"
