Oh, thats much better than his previous statements about the war.
I’m struggling to see how Ukraine’s defence against Russian imperialism wouldn’t be seen as a just war in Catholic theology.
Francis, fucking come out and say it, you have been all over the place trying to avoid accusing Putin’s lunatic war crimes, just say it:
Putin is committing the same genocidal shit Stalin did, Russia is a Terrorist Regime.
