Budrigannews.com – In a Friday interview, Pope Francis stated that the interests of multiple “empires”—not just Russia’s-drive the war in Ukraine.
“Imperial interests, not just of the Russian empire, but of empires from elsewhere,” according to Francis, were the driving force behind the conflict.
He indicated that he would be willing to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to demand peace.
In an interview that will air on Sunday, the pontiff was speaking to Italian Swiss television RSI. The Italian newspapers La Repubblica, La Stampa, and Corriere della Sera published excerpts on Friday.
In addition, Francis, who will turn 86 on March 13, the tenth anniversary of his election, has stated that he will resign if he becomes too exhausted to lead the Roman Catholic Church.
He had stated last month that only exceptional circumstances should warrant papal resignations.
In 2013, his predecessor Benedict XVI, who passed away on December 31 at the age of 95, became the first pontiff in about 600 years to step down.
Francis responded, “When I asked what would cause me to make the same decision to quit,” a fatigue that prevents you from seeing things clearly. a lack of clarity and ability to assess situations
Due to a knee injury, Francis said he was “a little ashamed” to use a wheelchair.
I’m old. “The knee problem was a physical humiliation, even though the recovery is going well now,” he stated. “I have less physical resistance.”
