Kondrusiewicz: Relations between Catholics and Orthodox in Belarus will be even more dynamic

MINSK, 13 February (BelTA) – The relations between Catholic and Orthodox believers in Belarus will be developing even more actively after the meeting between Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill in Cuba, Metropolitan of Minsk and Mogilev of the Roman Catholic Church in Belarus, Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz told media on 13 February, BelTA informs.

Catholics and Orthodox believers in Belarus have always had good relations. They will become even more dynamic after this meeting. I am confident about this because both the Catholics and Orthodox Christians should follow the example of the two hierarchs,” said Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz.
