< p _ngcontent-sc86="" class="news-annotation">The Vatican is still on the so-called “ostpolitik” line. They treat Russia with special reverence.
This Channel 24 was told by the religious scholar and Doctor of Philosophy Lyudmila Filippovich. According to her, the so-called “Ostpolitika” is based on a special attitude towards Russia. After all, this is a huge country with which Western Europe has repeatedly had various clashes.
Much depends on the opinion of the Pope
Mrs. Filippovich remembered John Paul II, who had a special attitude towards Ukraine. Do not forget that he was born in Poland, and on the maternal side he had Ukrainian blood. This Pope has always been sensitive to the problems of national revival and the specifics of religious life that unfolded in these lands.
Pope Francis has a completely different story. Although they all belong to the huge family of the Catholic Church.
According to her, very different leaders with different points of view are emerging within this community. It should be understood that in the Vatican there are also clashes of different opinions and contradictions. Now, for some reason, the pro-Russian approach to the war in Ukraine dominates. However, it is gradually changing.
It has long been recommended to throw off the “rose-colored glasses” of Moscow production, where Moscow is innocent … However, the Vatican is changing. At first, the Pope generally believed that this was a civil conflict, and he would help to extinguish it. Now he admits that this is a full-scale war that could start World War III,” said Lyudmila Filippovich.
Recall that the Pope recently called Russian propagandist Daria Dugin, who was blown up in a car in Russia, “innocent” a victim of war. Ukrainian Ambassador to the Vatican Andriy Yurash said that he was disappointed by the words of the Pope.
He does not understand how one of the ideologists of Russian imperialism can be called an innocent victim. the Russians destroyed her as a sacred sacrifice, and “now she is on the shield of war.”
