Pope Francis expressed concern about the intentions of the Ukrainian authorities to evict the monks of the UOC from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The pontiff said this during a collective audience, reports Il Mattino.
The head of the RCC noted that "opposing parties" must respect religious objects.

As reported by the UOJ, the UOC is being expelled from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
