War on Ukraine: Why Catholic Media Must Cover Conflict

“God is working through all of this,” said Archbishop Gudziak. Images “are reinforcing for all the realization of the God-given dignity of all human beings, the need for peace and justice, and the rule of law. Be not afraid to protect the innocent.”

Michael J.L. La Civita of CNEWA writes an informative article.

Catholic Near East Welfare Association is a papal agency for humanitarian and pastoral support for the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe. It is a worthy and reliable organization that is a good steward of people’s generosity.
