I was very disappointed in Metropolitan Hilarion's recent comments concerning the return of Ukrainian Greek Catholic churches to the Orthodox as being a prerequisite to further talks with Rome.

The communists seized them and gave them to the Orthodox, and after the fall of communism, they were rightfully returned to the Ukrainian Catholics.

To demand they be given back to the Orthodox as a prerequisite for a meeting between the Pope and the Russian Patriarch is simply untenable, especially considering The Holodomor, the "terror-famine" carried out against Ukrainian Catholics by the Russians in the 1930s.

Brian,

Don’t trust the spin of the Moscow Times Press. This like trusting what the NY Times plus 10 has to say regarding anything
