The chief ecumenical-affairs officer for the Russian Orthodox Church has voiced his hope that Pope Francis will not encourage the growth of the Eastern-rite Ukrainian Catholic Church.
Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk said that the evangelical activity of the Ukrainian Catholic Church—which is by far the largest of the Eastern churches in communion with the Holy See—is “the most painful topic in Orthodox-Catholic dialogue, in relations between the Orthodox and the Catholics.” The Russian Orthodox Church has frequently complained about what it regards as “proselytism” by Ukrainian Catholics in a land that the Moscow Patriarchate regards as its own “canonical territory.”

Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
