I have to wonder, in the 'Gay Lobby' master plan, possibly having the Chinese and Russian government take over control of the Catholic Church, in their countries, is the plan. If it is, then their plan is working very successfully in China. Any 'Gay Lobby' plan for this to happen in the U.S., certainly went off the table when Hillary Clinton did not get elected.
For Pope Francis to bypass the Patriarch Bartholomew, who seems to want to normalize with the west, in favor of Patriarch Kirill, who seems to be a power hungry clone of Putin, would seem odd for a pope to do. On his visit, Pope Francis did not even bother to talk to Patriarch Bartholomew, or the Ukrainians, or say a prayer for the genocide millions of people who died in the Ukraine.
One would think that, if the goal was to have everyone in the world submit to Jesus' authority in the Successors of St. Peter, Pope Francis would be doing things far differently.
Now Patriarch Kirill is writing Pope Francis to help him shore up his, Russian authoritarian, control of power, in the Ukraine. Hey, we want the Ukraine to be free from tyranny and oppression, like the West. Pope Francis should tell Patriarch Kirill not to worry, we will build Catholic churches when he is kicked out of the Ukraine. A Pope is supposed to be building the Catholic Church on earth, not worrying about helping the competition in their zeal for religious power.

Report on Ukraine
But it’s hard to overstate the blow to Moscow. It would represent a huge loss of property and influence: Ukraine accounts for about a third of the more than 36,000 parishes under the Moscow Patriarchate. More important, it would further weaken the concept of the “Russian world,” a neo-imperialist ideology that both Putin and Moscow Patriarch Kirill have employed to enhance their authority and counter the West. For Kirill personally, it would be a big political loss.
