15. "Russians can go fuck themselves"
Sat May 10, 2025, 04:55 PM

Well, since I'm Russian let me put it this way...

Иди нахуй себя

I like this liberal Pope as well (and believe me, I'm no fan of the Russian Orthodox Church). Just pointing out that among those in Orthodoxy, the Pope has very little if any influence (and that just doesn't include Russia, but its worldwide, they've despised each other since the year 1054). And you should care about who is the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Pope has the ear of many leaders around the world, but so does the Patriarch.

When the Pope and he meet, its usually on the down low and the official reason is usually a nothing burger. But everyone knows when it happens, some serious shit went down and they had to meet to fix the problem.
