Very strong statement of support from +Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. Archbishop of Philadelphia, USA (Roman Catholic) The Archbishop demonstrates a deep knowledge of the plight of the Ukrainian people, past and present. He calls upon all of the faithful of the very large Catholic community of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to press Washington for affirmative action in favor of Ukraine: Philadelphias Ukrainian Catholic Archbishop Stefan Soroka has called on all of us as fellow Catholics, and other Americans of good will, to support the struggle for religious and civil liberties in Ukraine. We can do that first and most importantly by prayer - and then by contacting our elected representatives. Silence from the United States encourages oppression in Ukraine. We cant let that happen, again, to fellow believers who bore so much suffering for so many decades. ...to press our elected federal representatives for financial and travel restrictions on Ukraines political and business leaders. archphila.org/press%20releases/pr002312.php#.UuvCFlu3IIM.facebook
