Pope Francis denounces Ukraine’s Russian Orthodox Church ban

“Churches are not to be touched!” he added.

That would carry so much more weight if churches didn’t touch or otherwise affect people who don’t follow their particular faith.

Or not touch children that were forced to follow their faith.

The article does not explain it well. The Orthodox church in Ukraine has officially switched allegience from Moscow to Kyiv, but many parishes did not do the switch and still report to Putin’s servant Kiril. The law will enforce the switch. The religion is the same, so if pro-russian priests choose to leave, I dont think the churches wont stay empty.

And here is a reminder of who Kiril and his cronies are:

Imagine the leader of an organization that fucks little children admonishing others for not wanting their organization present within their country.

Fuck the pope.

Hey pope, go cry me a river.

You should probably complain to the church rather than talk to the government authorities about that, your holiness.

I denounce the pope for covering up years of rape, torture, and murder across the globe.

To be fair, there was a lot of blatant torture and murder as well.

Cool, if you have nothing to say, then please don’t say anything.

FYI this is a right wing Christian news site that, according to their About Us page, was founded in 2004, in response to Pope John Paul II’s call for a “New Evangelization."
