Greek-Catholic Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kiev would like to meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill. The archbishop intends to resolve tensions between the Moscow patriarchate and the Byzantine Catholics of Ukraine. Shevchuk was enthroned last week as Major Archbishop of Kyiv.

Shevchuk said “we should heal the wounds rather than irritate and deepen them.”
