"Absolutely Obvious": Pope takes a pro -Russian position - OP (video)

The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak believes that the statements of Pope Francis have led to the resumption of the reputation of the Holy See. Pope Francis cannot be a mediator in the settlement of the war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. This was stated by the adviser to the Presidential Office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak in an interview with Channel 24 on September 8.

According to Mikhail Podolyak, the rhetoric of the Pope prevented his mediation mission because he broadcasts pro -Russian narratives. "It is absolute, unconscious, of course, but the reinforcement of the reputation of the Holy See," Podolyak stated. According to the adviser to the head of the OP, the pro -Russian position of the head of the Catholic Church can have a negative impact.

"If a person clearly promotes the right of Russia to kill in another sovereign territory of citizens of another country, it is a promotion of war so such," the adviser said. Mikhail Podolyak also noted that he liked the reaction of the Polish weekly Wprost magazine, which posted on the cover of the cartoon, which "clearly shows the attitude of the Catholic world to the Pope's statements.

" We will remind, on August 25, Pope Francis, with the help of Telmost, addressed the participants of the All-Russian meeting of young people in St. Petersburg, calling for young Russian Catholics not to forget about the "great inheritance" of the Russian Federation. "You are the heirs of Great Russia: Great Russia of Saints, rulers, Great Russia Peter I, Catherine II, that empire - great, educated, great culture and great humanity," the pontiff said.
