Ukrainian Catholic leader sees growth of 'bottom-up' ecumenism : News Headlines - Catholic Culture

He reported that Catholics in Ukraine are “trying to be witnesses of unity amongst ourselves” by encouraging solidarity between the Latin and Byzantine Catholic communities. At the same time Catholics are working to strengthen spiritual ties with the Ukrainian Orthodox community, which itself is splintered into different groups. “Many Christians are tired of divisions and are asking for unity,” the patriarch said.
