Cardinal Sepe's Visit to Lviv on the Occasion of the 650th Anniversary of the Galician Metropolis

According to inkorr.com: On September 5, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, the envoy of Pope Leo XIV, visited Lviv. This visit is timed to coincide with the celebration of the 650th anniversary of the Galician metropolis, which the Lviv Archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church will celebrate tomorrow, as reported by 'Glavkom,' citing Yevhen Boyko, a representative of the Lviv City Council Executive Committee.

The cardinal began his program with a meeting with wounded Ukrainian soldiers at the rehabilitation center 'Unbroken'. Yevhen Boyko noted that the archbishop expresses sincerity and compassion for Ukrainians who are fighting for their lives and defending Christian values.

'It is a pleasure to host such an honored guest in Lviv, who directly represents the Pope. Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe has devoted many years to serving the Church and the people,' said Yevhen Boyko.

Pope Francis's Call for Peace

The cardinal arrived to participate in the festive events honoring the anniversary of the Galician metropolis. Pope Leo XIV addressed the global community, calling for an end to violence and encouraging dialogue to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. This was reported by 'Glavkom.'

'The war in Ukraine continues to sow death and destruction. I once again express my solidarity with the Ukrainian people and all affected families,' emphasized the Pope.

The Pope urged the world not to remain indifferent but to draw closer to the affected through prayer and concrete acts of mercy.

In addition, it is worth noting that the counterintelligence of the SBU in Lviv detained two underage Russian agents who attempted to carry out a terrorist act. During the planting of a homemade explosive device under the car of a Ukrainian serviceman, a 17-year-old boy from Dnipropetrovsk and a 16-year-old girl from Cherkasy were detained. They were recruited through Telegram channels to carry out a dangerous task that involved reconnaissance and the seizure of explosives.

Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, representing Pope Francis, emphasized the importance of Christian values and support for Ukraine in this difficult time. The celebration of the 650th anniversary of the Galician metropolis became a symbol of unity and support for the Ukrainian people. Simultaneously with the cardinal's visit, the detention of Russian agents highlights the threat the country faces and the importance of ensuring its security.
