Pope Francis told an Italian newspaper he had offered to travel to Moscow to meet with President Vladimir Putin to try to end Russia's war in Ukraine and suggested the invasion might have been provoked by NATO's eastward expansion.

Popes for decades have sought to visit Moscow as part of the longstanding effort to heal relations with the Russian Orthodox Church, which split with Rome more than 1,000 years ago. But an invitation has never been forthcoming.

Francis recalled that he spoke in March with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, for 40 minutes by videoconference and for the first half "with paper in hand, he read all of the justifications for the war." Francis has frequently denounced the weapons industry and the announced increases in defense spending by the West in recent weeks. But he has also defended the right of Ukrainians to protect their territory from the Russian invasion, in line with Catholic social doctrine. He told Corriere he felt he was too removed to judge the morality of resupplying the Ukrainian armed forces from the West.

But he never wanted to meet Anglo Saxon genocidal nations when they invading others. Weird.

Yes , the pope has a warrant for his arrest in his crimes against children !

Pretty sure that popes have killed more innocent people than Putin. And more corrupt. But keep blaming the world problems on Russia.

Pope offers to meet Putin, still waiting to hear backPope Francis has told an Italian newspaper that he has offered to travel to Moscow to meet with President Vladimir Putin to try to end Russia's war in Ukraine, but that he hasn't yet heard back. If I didn’t know better I’d say he’s up for re-election. I know Popes aren’t re-elected, but why now? Is he really waiting for a Putin's call. 🙄🤣 Kind of hard when he's got the cancer treatments
