Bandera is a hero of Ukraine and at the time when Ukraine is under a neo-Soviet occupation everyone should have a portrait of Bandera on the wall. Of course, Bandera cannot be responsible for a massacre that occurred while he was in a Nazi jail. My Church teaches me to recognize something good in every person and to forgive past offences, especially done in the name of national liberation. Today, Ukraine needs both courage and the spirit of forgiveness; Fr. Mykola is a good pastor for them. May God bless him.
No...Never Forget...Never Forgive...They could have fought together with Polish Patriots to defeat the Reds, but they decided to murder Polish women and children instead.
I’d like your opinion about Bandera’s ideology as seen here.
“Moskali, Poles, Jews are hostile to us must be exterminated in this struggle, especially those who would resist our regime: deport them to their own lands, importantly: destroy their intelligentsia that may be in the positions of power ... Jews must be isolated, removed from governmental positions in order to prevent sabotage, those who are deemed necessary may only work with an overseer... Jewish assimilation is not possible.”
Do you share Banderas desire to violently destroy minorities?
How about his desire for a totalitarian state?
With Banderas having founded the faction that actually massacred tens of thousands of innocent people, and having had an ideology that advocates the destruction and expulsion of minorities, is this appropriate for a Priest to hang on their wall?
