Can you elaborate on what you mean here? You seem to be alluding to a stance that Francis had towards Russia that I am not familiar with.

- mantas 1y agoHe said Ukraine should surrender. To Russia which wants to exterminate Ukraine as a nation, culture and language. Feel free to google for more details. There were multiple occurrences when he doubled-down on his words after backlash.

- dragonwriter 1y ago> He said Ukraine should surrender. Which would be bad, had he done so, but he didn't actually say that; the white flag comment was specifically and explicitly about being willing to directly negotiate with Russia, not about surrender. > There were multiple occurrences when he doubled-down on his words after backlash. He certainly called on multiple occasions for all parties to negotiate, but he was also consistent, both before Russia invaded, after the invasion and before the "white flag" comment, immediately after the "white flag" comment, and since that the invasion by Russia is (or "would be" before it occurred) unjustifiable, immoral, an act of aggression, and that Russia has the primary obligation to stop it.
- mantas 1y agoWhat negotiations when Russians were asking for surrender and no other options were on the table?
- angra_mainyu 1y agoWent to Jesus in a keffiyeh, that in itself is atrocious!!! Then simped for jihadis. Plenty of similar stuff. It's hard to blame all the catholics that are sighing in relief hoping for a better successor.
- mantas 1y agoSeems to line up well with self-hate tendencies in many parts of West.
