‘Humanitarian catastrophe’ in Ukraine
July 16, 2015
Ukraine’s humanitarian crisis has received relatively little international attention, Caritas Internationalis, the Church’s confederation of relief and development agencies, stated on July 15.
“We’re not doing enough,” said Erik Heinonen, program manager for Catholic Relief Services in Ukraine. “The humanitarian catastrophe has not really been talked about or covered: 1.3 million people have left their homes behind and everything they had.”

Maybe after the Holy See finishes conferencing on sustainable development with UN Leftists,it might conference on what the Leftist Putin is doing to Ukraine...or maybe we need the Polish Pope back again to care about Ukraine! Francis and the present Primate of Ukraine, Sviatoslav,were both ordinaries of their respective Churches/dioceses in Buenos Aires at the same time! They're allegedly friends! Francis was schooled in the Ukrainian Rite! Do we so quickly forget our friends when we get famous?
