The heroic work and witness of the Eastern churches in some of the world's most conflict-ridden regions was highlighted at the annual Catholic Media Conference held in Atlanta in June.
Michael J.L. La Civita, executive editor and CNEWA's director of communications, moderated the panel. He opened the discussion by setting the context:"Catholic communities throughout the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe -- whose peoples are served by Catholic Near East Welfare Association -- are at the center of events unfolding there."
Speaking to conference participants from Lviv, Ukraine, Archbishop Gudziak spoke about the death, displacement and trauma that have resulted in Ukraine since Russia launched a full-scale war in 2022. The archbishop underscored the death of more than 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers and up to 50,000 civilians in areas under Ukrainian control.Of the 8 million people who fled Ukraine, 2 million have returned.
"So, there's suffering, but there is great valor and there's hope, which the church supports, the church announces and the church encourages." Foreign media, forbidden entry into Tigray during the war, are still not permitted to enter and report from the region, the bishop said, underlining the important role of Catholic journalism through agencies in the church network, such as CNEWA, to"present the reality from the ground and then also to give people hope."
