The vicar of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, declared that “World War III” has begun due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and that “there are no metaphysical good guys and bad guys” participating in this calamity.

Those who foresaw Catholic church involvement were apparently right. Pope Francis has seemingly cast his lot with Ukraine. What does this mean? Well, to many, beyond a doubt, church secrets are hidden in corrupt Ukraine along with the secrets of the democrat-communist party as well as some RINOs perhaps and still numerous Europeans, etc, etc.
On Tuesday, the Catholic outlet America Magazine flagged that the pope made his comments to the Italian Jesuit publication, “La Civiltà Cattolica,” as well as a secular newspaper, “La Stampa.” The interview was released on June 14.
Pope Francis claimed:
The world is at war. For me, today, World War III has been declared. This is something that should give us pause for thought. What is happening to humanity that we have had three world wars in a century?
The Pope also suggested that the situation is not as simple as the media presents it to be.
The Pope said:
I am simply against reducing complexity to the distinction between good guys and bad guys without reasoning about roots and interests, which are complex. While we see the ferocity, the cruelty of Russian troops, we must not forget real problems if we want them to be solved.
What are your suggestions for communicating the situation in which we are living? How can we contribute to a peaceful future?
To answer this question, we have to move away from the normal pattern of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’: Little Red Riding Hood was good and the wolf was the bad guy. Here there are no metaphysical good guys and bad guys, in an abstract sense. Something global is emerging, with elements that are very much intertwined.
The pope also explained why he believed that Russia was possibly “provoked” into war. He told the European outlets:
[A] couple of months before the war started, I met a head of state, a wise man, who speaks very little, very wise indeed. After we talked about the things he wanted to talk about, he told me that he was very concerned about the way NATO was moving.
The Pope asked him why, and was told:
‘They are barking at the gates of Russia. They do not understand that the Russians are imperialists and will allow no foreign power to approach them.’
The pope concluded:
‘The situation could lead to war.’ This was his opinion. On Feb. 24, the war began. That head of state was able to read the signs of what was taking place.
The pope has consistently prayed for an end to the war since it began and has pled for peace.
In March, shortly after the war began, The Daily Wire reported that Pope Francis consecrated Russia and Ukraine to “the Immaculate Heart of Mary,” asking for her intercession to end the conflict.
