⚡️ Pope Francis willing to go meet Putin in Moscow, rules out travel to Kyiv.
— The Kyiv Independent (@KyivIndependent) May 3, 2022
The Kremlin didn’t answer the Vatican’s offer. Pope Francis said he tried to understand Russia’s motivation to launch the war, adding that NATO’s actions may have been the cause.
God, what a doofus. Out of respect for Catholic readers, I’m not using a stronger word but I’m thinking it.

Every single Catholic I know would probably endorse the stronger word.

I’m still not fully over the Pachamama debacle, and now this. The guy can’t figure out the basic tenets of his own religion. What can we expect on other issues?

The handful of Catholics I know well enough to get an unguarded opinion from… the Pachamama incident basically galvanized them on the idea that Benedict is still, actually, the pope. And now they just try to ignore Francis and soldier on, hoping history will vindicate them, and this is just another embarrassing two-popes controversy (I mean, it’s happened before, right?).

Most practicing Catholics (as opposed to CINOs) agree.

There’s the crux, eh? Whoever you are, the “Catholics you know” are the practicing ones. We all likely know quite a lot of people who check the “Catholic” box on survey forms, but whom we would never mistake for religious people.

Precisely. And to think that the Jesuit order used to be the intellectual powerhouse of the Church of Rome. God help them!
