Pope Francis' remarks praising Russian culture put him in trouble

  The statements made recently by the leader of the Catholic Church in the world, Pope Francis, praising the history and culture of Russia, have placed his name in the black list of enemies of Ukraine. The AAAnews agency has reported that the Ukrainian website Myrotvorets, which publishes the personal information of journalists and famous people from different countries of the world in order to identify the real enemies of the country, has listed the name of the leader of the Catholic world, Pope Francis in his blacklist because of his remarks supporting the history and culture of Russia. The report said, on August 25, during the celebration of Youth Day, the Pope told the youth gathered in St. Petersburg, in Russia, that: Do not forget your identity.

You are the heirs of Great Russia, the saints of Great Russia, the emperors of Great Russia, Peter the Great and Catherine II. Addressing the Russian youth, the Pope added that: "You are the heirs of Russia, move forward and be proud of your lifestyle and your Russia, and be happy." These statements of the leader of the Catholic Church in the world have raised many debates in Western countries that support Ukraine and on that basis the people of Ukraine have put the name of Pope Francis in the list of enemies of their country. Among the prominent people blacklisted by the Ukrainian website Myrotvorets are Henry Kissinger, the former US secretary of state, and Silvio Berlusconi, the former prime minister of Italy.
