VOA/Reuters: Pope Asks Italian Cardinal to Carry Out Ukraine Peace Mission 

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has asked Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, head of the Italian bishops' conference, to carry out a peace mission to try to help end the war in Ukraine, the Vatican said on Saturday. 

Francis first spoke cryptically of his intention to launch a mission when he was returning from a trip to Hungary last month but gave no details. 

A Vatican diplomatic source said Zuppi would try to meet separately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

WNU Editor: Because of history Orthodox Russians are always skeptical on what the Vatican wants to do ... including this peace mission. But apparently so are many in the West .... Why Pope Francis isn’t with the West on Ukraine (Modern Diplomacy). 

As to what is my take. Both sides are not interested in peace right now. But someone has to start a dialogue.

Since the Reformation, in 1517, the Vatican has tried to be everything to everyone all the time, whatever the cost. They have neither shame nor truth. This is just the latest ploy. In the u.s. they are against border control because they need the Mexican Catholics to revitalize their coffers. Poop on the Pope.
