#Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has firmly stated that Kyiv will not raise any flag other than its national one in response to #Pope Francis’ recent remarks calling for Ukraine to “raise the white flag” and negotiate with russia.
“Our flag is a yellow and blue one. This is the flag by which we live, die, and prevail. We shall never raise any other flags,” - Dmytro Kuleba
@EugeneMcParland Since the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church has always sided with mass murderers and dictators.
It has blessed crusaders and slave traders, and Pope Pius XII remained silent against Mussolini and Hitler.
A cult of child abusers, thinking God’s son could be created by raping the virgin fiancé of a carpenter.
@OmbertoAldobrandeschi lol this is plain hate without knowing the history. Pius XI published Mit brennende Sorge which was directed against Nazis. Hitler was trying to exterminate catholic church whereever he came.
You might also watch the movie The Mission 1986 to see how "they were supporting slavers". You should find out something about John Paul II. to see how they "supported dictatorships" and maybe you should see what pope said about Putin before...
@Erwin_Schroedinger the German catholic church lived very well with the Nazis after the “Reichskonkordat” was signed in July 1933, a treaty between Hitler’s dictatorship and the Holy Sede. For remaining silent about politics, the church was granted to collect taxes. This “Kirchensteuer” is still to be paid in Germany, being the main income of the Vatican.
@EugeneMcParland When I first saw the picture, I thought it was Rudi Giuliani dressed as a pope
@Supertapani Rudy will do anything to avoid prosecution.
@EugeneMcParland
@EugeneMcParland Stand strong, Ukraine! No. White. Flag!
@EugeneMcParland I’m very disappointed in the #Pope we should all believe in peace but we should never give up our state or altar or borders, because we are invaded by an evil dictator. #PutinIsaWarCriminal
@EugeneMcParland Tim Minchin says it best: (kids best out of the room)
@EugeneMcParland FTP stands for more things than just File Transfer Protocol.
Haha my first thought was Functional Threshold Power then I got it!
@EugeneMcParland An antipope.
@EugeneMcParland #PopeFrancis should #STFU. Disrespect intended.
@EugeneMcParland as a catholic, I would like to say, that pope isnt speaking for me. I dont understand why has he said that. East Europe knows better than south american, what is this war about.
@EugeneMcParland Pope Francis can go fuck himself with a cactus. Sideways.
@EugeneMcParland the pope telling them to make a deal with the devil. What does that tell you about religion, faith? He is just an actor in a costume. Living in a bubble, in comfort. Faith? do you see him standing in harms way in protest? They never have enough faith to be a shield. Religion is fraud, has nothing to do with God
@EugeneMcParland Does Pope realize Russia wants to erase the Ukrainian people, identity, culture, language, history, and destroy everything Ukrainian in Ukraine and make everything Russian? He can't be that naive, but he apparently that gullible. You don't wave white flag and surrender to Russia. You're as good as dead.
@EugeneMcParland @DukeDuke Pope needs to mind his business.
The Pope has been a mouthpiece before "for peace in our time" appeasement; that inevitably emboldens warmongers.

Chamberlain did it to reassure the moneyed and influential.
It begs the question, who is the Pope helping with these statements?
"Stay in your lane, popetard."
I am so angry with Pope Francis for his massive betrayal of Ukraine, of Catholics, of humanity.
He would rot in hell for this, if there was a hell.
