Christ is risen!
From RISU,
Pope Francis passed away [risu.ua]
I know this isn't new to anyone at this point, but, one of the reasons I thought this was worth sharing is because of Pope Francis's relation to Eastern Christianity; I think it's certainly worth a read.
May his memory be eternal!

Thank you for sharing this, Adamcsc. It is definitely worth reading and considering. I join you in praying " May his memory be eternal".

I'm surprised about the quite positive RISU write-up as there were many Ukrainians that "had issues" with Pope Francis.
These include the meeting in Cuba with the Moscow Patriarch and the many pronouncements about peace (as opposed to just peace) with Russia.

Perhaps RISU decided that it should pay respects to the spiritual leader of the Catholic Church without bringing up negative, or controversial things, at this solemn time of mourning.
