CWN Editor's Note: Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, took part in “The role of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in the context of the war,” an online event (video) organized by the Pontifical Oriental Institute.
Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, and Cardinal Michael Czerny, interim Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, also took part in the event; Cardinal Czerny’s talk was entitled “Heroic Angels of Welcome.”
“Never had I imagined that the basements of our cathedral in Kyiv would become bomb shelters for many people who are forced to hide from Russian bombs,” said Major Archbishop Shevchuk, who thanked Pope Francis and the Holy See for “doing everything possible to stop this massacre of innocents in Ukraine.”
