Kiev, April 23, Interfax - Cardinal Lubomir Husar, leader of the Ukrainian Greek Catholics, has announced his intention to establish new Uniate dioceses in Eastern Ukraine.
‘We are discovering more people than we thought. Even in Kiev there are more Greek Catholics than we hoped to find. As people have become estranged from traditions, they have to be found and awakened’, Cardinal Husar said in a interview to the Ukrainian Focus magazine, commenting on the intention of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church to open new dioceses.
It is through the efforts of ‘young, energetic and more emotional’ priests that the Greek-Catholic clergy in Ukraine ‘are stimulating’ people to accept the Uniate preaching, he said.
