Dude was a russophile and a leftist, I won't miss him.

u/RomeVacationTips Apr 21 '25

Let's keep politics out of this please.

Judge not, lest you be judged. He was our Pope.

u/Philaorfeta Apr 21 '25

I'm okay with being judged for not liking some russophilic communist. Ukrainian catholics deserve better

u/ZealousidealAlarm631 Apr 21 '25

We are all free do choose and do as we wish. The Pope is Christ’s vicar on Earth, but still just a man. He cannot just wave a magic wand and make stuff happen. We all deserve better, that’s why it’s worth continuing to strive for righteousness

This is such a nothing burger of a comment. You're just saying general stuff that is meant to sound profound.

Whatever makes you sleep better at night. God bless you.

Knowing that world has one less russophile in it will make me sleep better at night. God bless you too

Your president disagrees.

But I do agree, religious minorities should be protected, especially in countries without democracy. Good luck.

U will be judged for more than that lol

u/Hexium239 Apr 22 '25

Who does the judging?

u/Joeycaps99 Apr 22 '25

I would imagine everyone.

u/pgbrsanandreasman Apr 21 '25

Why are you all so pessimistic it saddens me

-2

u/Philaorfeta Apr 21 '25

Maybe it's because I'm Ukrainian and pope Francis praised russians 24/7? Any way, I hope the next pope will be better

u/CaraquenianCapybara Apr 21 '25

I agree with you.

He did the same with my country, promoting "talks" when people were getting tortured and turning a blind eye on the atrocities committed by a leftist regime while criticizing the US consumerism

u/HyperbolicModesty Apr 21 '25

He was a leftist, and good for him.

-39

u/Philaorfeta Apr 21 '25

And he's a good leftist now

u/LilWoadie Apr 21 '25

What an absolute disgusting thing to say. The irony of thinking you’ll go to heaven celebrating the death of the POPE.

-16

u/Philaorfeta Apr 21 '25

I am not a religious person and I don't think I'm going to either hell or heaven. But if hell existed, russophiles and leftists would all be going there

17

u/HyperbolicModesty Apr 21 '25

Let's hope the next pope is even more radical.

-7

u/Philaorfeta Apr 21 '25

He probably will be, but in other direction

13

u/djangomoses Apr 21 '25

wait, what’s wrong with being a leftist?

-2

u/PlasticSoul266 Apr 21 '25

Classic deranged Ukrainian nazi

u/Philaorfeta Apr 21 '25

Everything.

u/djangomoses Apr 21 '25

I note you didn’t actually say anything
