CWN Editor's Note: Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk referred to Pope Francis granting full communion to “millions of simple faithful, simple Catholic Christians in China who in this way have returned to the womb of the mother Church,” as well as to the Ecumenical Patriarch granting “communion with the Church of Christ to almost 20 million Ukrainians ...

Only the Orthodox had the faculties and power to respond to that.”
