Russia: Parolin Apologises for Francis’ Ill-Considered Words

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on December 15 that Russia had received an apology from the Vatican's Secretary of State over Francis' comments against Chechens and Buryats (en).

"This incident is settled," she said, after Francis's claim that Russian soldiers from these two nations where the "cruellest" fighters in Ukraine.

We have a saying in the US about someone letting his mouth overload his brain.

The Catholic Church will have to apologize to the Faithful for the disastrous pontificate of Francis for years to come.

It is not a pontificate.....it is an anti-pontificate.
There are a number of canonical anomalies surrounding the resignation of Benedict XVI, and the supposed election of Jorge
There are many, many people who believe Benedict is still the pope.....and among them .....high level theologians. It is imperative that the remaining faithful, truly Catholic Cardinals bring on an Imperfect Council to examine every Canon Law detail of Benedict's Resignation and Bergoglio's supposed 'election'. Looks like a number of Canon Laws were broken.....see the book:
"BENEDICT XVI: POPE EMERITIS"? ' "The 'always' is 'forever' " by ESTEFANIA ACOSTA.
What level of heresy and scandal does Bergoglio have to come to do..... before those Cardinals say "ENOUGH!!!"......and have the courage to initiate this council?????
Bergoglio's sanctioning of sacrilegious communion for the divorced and civilly remarried (as per Amoris Laetitia) should have been the tipping point!!!!
