I don’t usually feel sorrow for religious leaders who mean one thing and say another because they are old or because religious people generally have a different way of thinking. The Pope is right to ask for warring parties to seek peace but his way of saying it was not helpful.
You would never mention white flags in the same breath as peace. Imagery has no place in negotiations with Russia. And to ask the Ukrainians to have ‘courage’ after the last two years is just stupidity.
All leaders need excellent speech writers. I can help with that, if he needs.
