Look, I’m not a fan of the Catholic Church and their general ideology. But, this pope does have his based moments.

    Not in this case, pope is officially unfallible in the matters of faith. Of course question what exactly is a matter of faith is usually decided after curses stop flying and stakes burn out, but in this case it’s rather pretty clear it is not.

    Of course normally (as the XVI century polish bishop Andrzej Zebrzydowki put it “Let them believe in the goat, as long as they pay their tithe”) the matter of opposing entirely secular power of church is much more important, but in this case it is rather pope who is opposing it. Probably they just want to proselytise Ukraine again and are waiting for the opportunity.
