We continue to pray for the amazingly brave and resilient people of Ukraine, facing crimes against humanity every day and a campaign of utterly mindless annihilation by the totalitarian Russian regime.
At last, the Pope has spoken out against the barbarity of this genocidal war!
Why has Cyril, the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, not spoken out against this merciless massacre of innocents? He is probably very frightened: people who disagree with the regime put themselves at great risk. But does that excuse not speaking the truth? Silence in this context is approval! Does he not answer to a higher authority? Would Jesus really stand idly by and say or do nothing in the face of such obvious evil?
