And it's that rejection of the RCC is the reason that both sides in the conflict want the pope to butt out and would regard him as interfering if he got involved. Remember, Roman Catholics only make up 0.1% of the population in Russia (there are literally TWELVE TIMES as many Neopagans and Tengrists living there than Catholics).
Again . . . this view has no place in an honest, moral and ethical view of the war from the Western perspective, and that of over a billion Roman Church followers in the West that the Pope represents.Last edited by shunyadragon; 09-26-2022, 08:45 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

All ready addressed this and you choose to ignore my posts. The issue is not remotely related to the Roman Church population in Russia nor Ukraine The issue is the problematic view of the Pope and the Roman Church and the generation of support for Putin in the West. Putin does not want the Pope to butt out, actually there is no evidence for this, and he loves this defacto support that represent to him a divided view of the West concerning the war. I have seen very little, actually nothing from other members and leaders of the Roman Church in the West speaking out against the Pope's statements. I see a lot of 'Duck, Bob and Weave statements from church leaders, not the Pope to qualify and justify the statements by the Pope, but there is absolutely no justification for the Pope's view that gives credance to the West contribuing to the cause of the imperialist Russian aggression to establish a Russian Fatherland' Empire in Eastern Europe an Asia for ethnic Russians,
Again . . . this view has no place in an honest, moral and ethical view of the war from the Western perspective, and that of over a billion Roman Church followers in the West that the Pope represents.
The only place it could have any measurable effect is in Russia and Ukraine where it would be seen as sticking his nose in where it is not wanted. The only reason that they haven't told him to mind his own business so far is because he hasn't interfered.
Think of it this way... if Australia and New Zealand, for some weird reason, went to war they probably wouldn't be happy if the mullahs in Iran tried to get involved.

There are many heavily populated Russian regions of occupied Ukraine, and there is absolutely no evidence that Russian civilians have been targeted as in the many many artillery and missile attacks by Russians on civilian targets like schools, hospitals, apartment complexes, and shopping malls. Thousands of Russians have moved in to replace Ukrainians made vacant by ethnic cleansing have not been targeted by Ukraine.

Please address the over 1000 fold degree of atrocities committed by Russians as cited in the references against your cold indifference toward the extreme atrocities committed by the Russians you callously compare as equivalent to the atrocities committed by the Ukrainians as equal in posts 9#, #19 and #33.
Again corruption is not the issue here since it is committed by oligarch, and governments worldwide.
Remember Russia invaded Ukraine with imperialist motives.Last edited by shunyadragon; 09-26-2022, 10:56 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
