The Pope admitted that he begins and ends the day "in Ukrainian"
Pope Francis visited Saint Sophia Cathedral in the Italian capital on Sunday, where he prayed with the parishioners of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church for peace in Ukraine and thanked the residents of this country for caring for the elderly Italians. His words broadcast "Radio Vatican". uk.radiovaticana.va/news/2018/01/28/%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%B0_%D1%84%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA_%D0%B2_%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%96_%D1%81%D0%B2%D1%8F%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%97_%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%84%D1%96%D1%97_%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE_%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%B8/1360801 "I understand that your hearts are trembling now not only from love, but also from anxiety for your country, scourged by war and economic difficulties." I am here to say that I am close to you in my heart, in prayer and when I serve the Mass. I ask the Prince of Peace to stop the weapon, "Pope Francis said. In addition, the pontiff admitted that every morning and evening he sees an icon that reminds him of Ukraine. "I want to tell you a secret: at night, before going to bed, and in the morning when I wake up, I always meet with Ukrainians. Every evening before I go to sleep, I kiss the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, which your supreme archbishop gave me, and I also greet her in the morning, so you can say that I start and end the day in Ukrainian, "- he said. At the same time, Pope Francis noted "the work of thousands of Ukrainian women, domestic workers who selflessly help the Italian old people and children." ria.ru/religion/20180129/1513493068.html

The Vatican, in fact, did not abandon its medieval plans for the Crusade to the East - 'enlightenment of non-Catholic barbarians' - I think!
