" "I thought of what I was taught at school: Peter I, Catherine II. Perhaps this is not quite right, let historians say, but it was a supplement that came to me," the Pontiff said. According to the head of the Catholic Church, his message was to take responsibility for his inheritance. We will remind, on August 25, Pope Francis spoke at the All -Russian meeting of Catholic youth and urged the Russians not to forget about the "great legacy" of Russia.
"You are the heirs of Great Russia: Great Russia of Saints, rulers, Great Russia Peter I, Catherine II, that empire - great, educated, great culture and great humanity," the Pope said. The pontiff also wished the Russians to be "artisans of peace" among "different manifestations of polarization". Soon, the Pontifice was commented on the statement of Pontice, noting that Pope Francis is an opponent and critic of any form of imperialism or colonialism.
