Pope Francis: 'Only Putin can defend Christianity'

Pope Francis Sees Putin as 'Only Man' to Defend Christians Around the World


The upcoming meeting between Pope Francis and Russian Patriarch Kirill will not only be a historic religious event, but could also have major benefits to Christians around the world, the French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche reported.

In an attempt to defend Christians in the Middle East and other parts of the world where they're being persecuted, Pope Francis wants to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin for help.

According to Pope Francis, Putin is "the only one with whom the Catholic Church can unite to defend Christians in the East."

"It's important to join efforts [with Russia] to save Christianity in all regions [of the world] where it's oppressed," Pope Francis said, as cited by Le Journal Du Dimanche.

With the help of Putin, Pope Francis hopes to reach out to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani and even the Chinese government elite and work out a plan to help Christians in these regions.

Putin's Meeting With Pope Francis Being Planned
In regards to China, Francis said he hopes to establish political contact between Beijing and Vatican since the two parties have never had official diplomatic relations, the French newspaper said.
On February 12, Pope Francis will meet Russian Patriarch Kirill. The high-profile meeting will start a rapprochement between the Catholic and the Orthodox Churches after the 1054 Schism.

The two churches split in 1054 — in what is often called the "Great Schism" — following protracted disputes over Rome's supremacy over the whole Christian community, which compounded more strict theological disagreements.

The meeting will take place in Cuba, at Havana's airport, where Francis and Kirill will talk and eventually sign a joint statement.

Don't worry found it myself. Seems to be more speculative without any actual facts.

Pope Francis is an intelligent man, he knows who should be asked for help to do the job.

its amazing how everyone on ozpolitics seems to refuse to believe that Putin and president Xi are very popular in russia and china.

both those countries seem to be full of patriots and they seem to be doing really well.

meanwhile USA is a shambles and scomo's only answer to anything is to print money and let uppity premiers demolish economies.

i, for one, would LOVE putin to come and run australia

True. Take Belorus. Thousands of people (mostly Women) are protesting against their seedy-sleaze President.
But many oldies raised by the Soviet era - don't want change, as the President pays their $260 a month pension because its stability, when the future can be otherwise.

Putin and Xi are indeed popular in their country with or without being forced to. Sadly for these two regions (Euro/Asia) - Politics is failing in the hands of Men, but rising in the hands of women (just like Sport here in Oz Wink).

I think if Australia took a disciplined path like the USSR - we would be a great country. Our Egalitarianism is close to the Communist way.

Someone said once: Capitalism is for an over-populated nation of Rednecks ruled by a minority of Gays, while Communism is populated by Wankers ruled by  a Board of little Yobbos.

Australia will succeed, where the USSR failed (wrong place, time, etc).

I see.
I can also see the Vatican and Mafia teeming up against the Moslems. Not many Syrian refugees made it to Italian shores.  Wink
