Baltimore, Md., Nov 16, 2022 / 14:08 pm The U.S. Catholic bishops showed their support for the Ukraine war effort at their fall meeting in Baltimore Wednesday, pledging solidarity and continued humanitarian aid following an impassioned speech on the war against Russia by Ukrainian Catholic Archbishop Borys Gudziak.
Cardinal Robert McElroy of San Diego, who was named to the College of Cardinals by Pope Francis this May, urged the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to stand by Ukraine.
Referring to rumblings that the U.S. Congress might decrease the nation’s commitment to the war effort in Ukraine, McElroy called on the bishops to act with haste to ensure continued U.S. support.
“I urge the conference to make it a very high priority to move quickly to preempt any moves in our national policy in that direction,” McElroy said.
Noting his past support for pursuing peaceful means to end conflict, McElroy said that the war between Ukraine and Russia is different.
“This is an instance that demands resistance,” he told the assembled bishops.
‘It’s liberty or death’
McElroy’s comments came after a moving speech by Gudziak, the American-born archbishop for the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia, in which he thanked the bishops for standing by Ukraine since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion.
In his remarks, Gudziak characterized Russia’s invasion as a sign of the sort of “imperialism” that is no longer tolerated in the world.

And don’t forget - Blessed are the Peacemakers
You want us to trust the same media that uses the same tactic to label Trump, the MAGA movement, the Tea Party, and the Republican Party in general or any conservative for that matter “Nazis” and “Fascists”? Their use of imagery from small fringe groups to smear any non-Leftist political movement is a despicable but common practice.
