Pope Francis is calling on Ukraine to not let conflict with Russia undermine its support for religious freedom.
After a prayer service on Sunday, the Catholic leader criticized Ukraine’s new law banning churches affiliated with the Russian Orthodox Church, arguing that churches shouldn’t become casualties of war.
“In thinking about the laws recently adopted in Ukraine, I fear for the freedom of those who pray, because those who truly pray always pray for all,” the pope said, per Religion News Service.
