Not too put too much of a slam on Catholics but isn't this just echoing what the pope said ? "Invasion is a crime"

Not true. He's a member of an Eastern Rite Church in full communion with Rome.

Not true. The Romanian Catholic church is one of the Eastern Catholic rites, in union with Rome:

The Romanian Rite, centered in Romania with a significant population in the United States, reunited with Rome in 1697 and uses Modern Romanian in their liturgy; in 1948, they were forced to join the Romanian Orthodox Church in Romania, but since the fall of communism, the Catholic Romanian Rite has regained independence. The Russian Rite, located mainly in Russia and China with congregations in Europe, Australia, and North and South America, reunited with Rome in 1905 and uses Old Slavonic as a liturgical language.

We all belong to the Catholic (Universal) Church. There are about 30 Rites within the Church. The most common Rite in the US is the Roman Rite or Roman Catholic Church.
