Pope Francis: Orbán said the war would end in May 9!
Pope Francis answered the questions of ‘Corriere della Sera’, an Italian daily. The pope mentioned the prime minister in the interview, who paid his first official visit after the April 3 general elections to the head of the Roman Catholic church. He talked about the Russian invasion adding that he and Orbán discussed the issue during their meeting last month.
The pontiff and the Hungarian prime minister met on April 21 in the Vatican, shortly after Orbán’s fourth consecutive landslide victory. Orbán told him that the Russians had a plan and highlighted the importance of May 9. The leader of the Roman Catholic church said he was pessimistic about the future because he could not see there was enough will for peace – telex.hu reported.
The pope’s words are interesting considering that Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, said on Monday that Putin warned Orbán about the invasion before February 24.
The pontiff said he did not plan a visit to Ukraine’s capital. He sent a request to meet with Vladimir Putin in Moscow to reestablish peace but received no answer, he added.

“I called Ukrainian president Zelenskiy on the first day of the war. I did not call Putin. I wanted to make an unequivocal gesture” – he said. Then he asked cardinal Parolin on the 20th day of the war to send a message to Putin to set up a meeting. However, they have not received an answer yet from the Kremlin. “I am afraid that Putin cannot and wants not to meet. But how can such brutality be stopped? We experienced the same 25 years ago in Rwanda.
I do not go to Kyiv yet. I sent cardinals Michael Czerny and Konrad Krajewski. But I feel I do not have to go. I must go to Moscow first and meet with Putin. But I am a priest. What could I do? I do what I can. If Putin opened the door…” – Pope Francis told the Italian daily.
The pontiff said that he had a historic zoom meeting with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill. However, the Russian religious leader expressed his support for Russia’s intentions in Ukraine and read out all the supporting points for the invasion. The pope said he replied he did not understand anything from that political manifesto but expressed hope the patriarch would not become Putin’s altar boy – Radio Free Europe wrote.

It is said, my research & reading over decades – still remain perplexed – what side of the “aisle” or what pew that I sit in – that Pope Pius X11 – throughout, the course of the Second World War – 1939-1945 – was Hitlers Pope.
Victor Orban – NEVER, NEVER, NEVER – a chance – that Pope Francis will be your or the Russsian Presidents – Pope.
Confident – His Holiness – as I have become to know him – would support me in these words – that are DEEP in the DNA – of Victor Orban & Vladimir Putin – and correctly appertain – to Orban & Putin :
“We are the Masters of our Fate,
We are the Captains of our Soul”.
Words from the poem – Invictus by the Victorian era poet – William. Ernest Henley.
Spreading throughout the Global Media – another “blur” on the Hungarian CV – is this statement by the Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban, arising from a meeting with His Holiness – Pope Francis.
Does appear that a “Confessional ” meeting or Reconciliation – sealed under priestly vows, was not requested by the Hungarian Prime Minister, with His Holiness ///
Wife of Hungarys PM – is of the Holy Roman Catholic Faith – but Victor Orban – is he a “Lapsed” Catholic or what Faith of Christianity – Values of Life – built on and around Sharing and Balance in Standards of Human Life – does he relate to ?
Wow – what if Victor Orban – decided to practice Catholicism ?
43% of the “twindling” population of Hungary = 9.6 million – are Baptised Catholics.
What an Historical Occassion – it would be – in Hungary.
Cardinal Peter Erdo – of Hungary, comes out of his Palatial Palace in Eszterogam for the day, up to the banks of the Danube – special Heavy Duty – “Rak-Pak” – built at Batthyany ter, be quite bit of weight on it for this occassion – and a Full Immmersion Ceremony of Baptisim conducted on the “welcoming” of Victor Orban – into the Holy Roman Catholic Faith.
Peter Erdo and Victor Orban – fitted out in Full Bodied Water-proof – Red Rubber Skiing Suits – as when Victor Orban, is lowered into the Duna – in a Heavy Duty Metal Cage, like we see in documentaries, used when we view – humans entering SHARK infested Waters – there could be “some” waters of the Duna “splashed” from the size and weight of the HEAVY Duty Metal Cage.
What a Glorious Occassion.
The Heavy Duty Metal Cage – is surrouned by Divers – ready with O2 tanks on there backs – in case Victor Orban – falls short of Breath or attacks are made – at the cage – by “other” species //
Baptism we are taught by the Holy Roman Catholic Church – is an important step in the way of life of a BELIEVER.
The abolishment – to destruct and destroy – of your old self, and that you have risen with Christ Jesus – to walk in newness of LIFE.
Citizens are put on notice, not to disregard a SURGE in the rising waters of the Duna – when this occassion, takes place.
“On a Wing and a PRAYER” – we journey – drive by – HOPE.
Oh dear! 🙁 Now Putin will have to change that date, lest we all become privy to the “secret” 😉 that Orban is Putin’s “inside man” LOL – give a break!
The second version is that Putin will now HAVE TO make May 9th a day of VERY SPECIAL importance, lest he let his “inside man” down. Some of us know that the 9th of May is Victory Day in Russia, commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Incidentally, where’s a direct quote from His Holiness that says that the WAR WILL END on May 9th? All I see is that the Russians have a PLAN, “…and highlighted the importance of May 9 “. Let’s just wait for Putin’s May 9th (half day-long) speech.
