By the way, in case Putin was hoping for his own Pope Pius who would cuddle up warm and cozy with his fascist war on Ukraine, looks like it's not in the cards because Pope Francis says Putin is actually trying to pull off "Holodomor 2.0" as far as he's concerned.

Pope compares Russia's war in Ukraine to 1930s famine inflicted by Stalin

Quote
"This Saturday marks the anniversary of the terrible genocide of the Holodomor, the extermination by famine of 1932-33 that was artificially caused by Stalin.
Let us pray for the victims of this genocide and let us pray for so many Ukrainians - children, women, elderly - who are today suffering the martyrdom of aggression."
