Pope Francis said yesterday he was still working on arranging a meeting with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, despite the patriarch's justification for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and said he wouldn't rule out traveling to the region if it would help, the Yahoo News website reports today (April 4, 2022).
Speaking to reporters on a plane en route home from Malta, Francis said he and Patriarch Kirill were thinking of a possible location in the Middle East,
Kirill has called for peace and for civilians to be spared, but has justified Russia's invasion of Ukraine by casting it as a "metaphysical" battle with the West and its "gay parades."
