Ukraine is approaching the end of the ninth month since the beginning of Russia's horrific war of aggression.
In that geographical area, Christianity is associated with the Baptism of the Rus peoples in 988, when Vladimir the Great, after being baptized in Kherson, wanted his family and the people of Kyiv to receive the sacrament in the waters of the Dnieper River. Today there is a tendency to hide this common affiliation of faith and liturgical tradition for reasons related to war propaganda: when you fight and kill you have to forget the face and humanity of the other, as the “prophet of peace” Bishop Don Tonino Bello recalled.The war that has broken out in the heart of Europe is a war between Christians, so the wound is made even more painful for followers of Jesus.
It could even lead us to climb up on our secure pulpit of judgment of those who would delineate between our Christianity and that of the warmongers who mix holy icons with the soldiers’ labarum to justify aggression and violence with religious speech, something which we ourselves did until not long ago and as some would still desire to do today.
