Vatican Alms for Schismatics: Humanitarianism Replaces the Kingship of Christ in Ukraine
The Vatican News portal reports on a visit by Father Viktor Bilous, an official of the Apostolic Nunciature in Ukraine, to a “solidarity kitchen” in the village of Berestia, Rivne region, funded by the Dicastery for the Service of Charity. The initiative, led by Orthodox and Protestant women preparing meals for Ukrainian soldiers in retort pouches, is presented as a manifestation of the “beauty of the Church” and effective “solidarity.” Father Bilous blessed the food and prayed with the non-Catholic volunteers, who emphasized the aid came from the “Office of Papal Charities.” The article concludes with the priest’s pride that the “Catholic Church can do so much good without waiting for better times.”
