CWN Editor's Note: “The Pope’s intention to be in the midst of a suffering people is for us Catholics, starting with me as a bishop, a reason for great hope,” Bishop Vitalii Kryvytskyi, SDB, the Latin-rite Bishop of Kyiv-Zhytomyr.

Bishop Kryvytskyi was likely referring to the Pope’s controversial comments on the causes of the war.
