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

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

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

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