Pope Francis spoke today on the political clash taking place around the Kiev Lavra, the caves where the oldest monastic institution of Russian Orthodoxy is based, now hostage to the conflict in Ukraine."I am thinking of the Orthodox nuns of the Kiev Lavra," Francis said at the end of the general audience, addressing the faithful present in St. Peter's Square."I ask the warring parties to respect the religious places.
After the end of the Soviet Union, the complex came under the ownership of the Ukrainian government with an agreement of free use by the monks of the Moscow Patriarchate, which today - in the context of the ongoing war - Kiev does not want to renew. Although, Culture Minister Aleksandr Tkacenko declared in recent hours that"the monks will be able to remain in the Lavra, under certain conditions" and that"there will be no forceful action" against them.
"Apostle,' he explained, 'means to be sent on a mission. The event in which the Risen Christ sends his apostles into the world, passing on to them the power he himself received from the Father and giving them His Spirit, is exemplary and foundational," the pope commented.
