Kyiv’s Mayor Invites Pope Francis to Come to Ukrainian Capital
Crux ^ | 4/15/22 | Ines San Martin

ROME – Ukraine’s government has not been shy in voicing its willingness to let the Vatican help mediate in the war with Russia.

Now the mayor of Kyiv, the country’s capital, has issued a formal invitation for Pope Francis to visit the city.

“We believe that the world religious leader’s presence in person in Kyiv is key for saving lives and paving the path to peace in our city, country and beyond,” says the March 8 letter signed by Vitaly Klitshko.

The letter was leaked to the media on Tuesday, and Crux has been able to independently verify its authenticity.

Klitshko also says that if a journey to Kyiv is not possible, “we kindly ask for a joint video conference, to be recorded or broadcast live. Efforts will be made to include President Zelenskyy in this call.”

“We appeal to you, as a spiritual leader, to show your compassion, to stand with the Ukrainian people by jointly spreading the call for peace,” wrote the mayor to the pope.

The Vatican has acknowledged Klitshko’s letter.

I have to wonder why you would invite this Satanic creature to your city.

The Pope would make a great human shield. Lucifer would protect him.

I saw this article last night and called my wife over to read it with me. Even when they see it happening, most people wouldn’t change a thing in their lives. We are truly living in the last days of this earth.

Eccl 12:
13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

We are in the judgement hour, yes. Time is short too. In the end, as the world marvels after her, we are also seeing Sunday being more and more exalted and protected. Amazing how God uses that to bring together the Godless religion of Climate change atheists and the counterfeit church of babylon and her daughters who are reaching out to her even though she hasn’t changed a single doctrine.

Imagine when the real fireworks start? City leveling earthquakes, nuclear war, famine, more pandemics, financial implosion......the world will turn to the church to save the planet......and we know where that goes.......
