"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall me whiter than snow"
For, whatever reason, some of my fellow Catholics have started to endorse religious persecution of Eastern Catholics. I’ve documented some of what the Russians have done to their fellow Catholics, yet, no one seems to care.
(Make sure you read this article; Why I'm Catholic)
(And related to this, check out my latest on Locals; Save us from Russia supporters)
You have the obligation to speak out against evil
Standing up to dictators is thoroughly Catholic
What is an Orthobro? I was under the impression I wrote for a Catholic site, not a Russian Orthodox one.
Yet, over and I over, I see things repeated, that could have literally come from Patriarch Kirill’s Cathedral. (Crimean Metropolitan Tikhon of the Russian Orthodox Church explained to students why it is necessary to kill Ukrainians),
Like that Ukraine’s war against Russia is “unwinnable”, or that Catholics don’t have the moral obligation to support Ukraine.
Let me make this very clear, the “Banderites” that Russia keeps blaming on all the world’s ills, are Catholic.
The writer of the Ukrainian National Anthem was a Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest.
And the USSR, banned the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
Which is the reality in Russia.
Dear Pope Francis, what about Russian persecution of Eastern Catholics?
Y’all know the war being “unwinnable” is Russian propaganda, right?
Be honest, how many of y’all fell for the “Biolabs in Ukraine” hoax?
Do any of y’all actually bother watching interviews Russian POWs in Ukrainian custody? If you haven’t, then do yourself a favour, check out these channels on YouTube, Volodymyr Zolkin (In Russian, and sometimes Ukrainian), Zolkin Volodymyr(In English, some subtitled, some dubbed),Apostle Dmytro Karpenko in Russian, and sometimes Ukrainian)
Why is it, the very POWs from Russia, admit that Russia is losing the war?
Oh yeah, that’s right, because they are losing.
Imagine if Americans had the same attitude towards the British during the American Revolution.
(Which, by the way, the French helped win, the Founding Fathers did not have a libertarian view of foreign policy, hHow the French Won the American Revolution)
What does this have to do with God, Christianity, or the Bible?
And the truth is, the Russia persecutes Catholics.
The people claiming we shouldn’t help Ukraine, really shouldn’t even wear the badge of Christian, and especially should not wear the badge of Catholic Christian.
In what world can a Catholic support the persecution of Catholics?
Adam Charles Hovey is the host of the weekly Bible study, Coffee and Christianity and is the founder of the Catholicism, news, and whatever community on Locals
