Werenfried van Straaten’s sermon during a requiem for the late Patriarch Josyf Slipyj, which was held in St. Michael’s Church in Munich on Sunday, October 21, 1984. According to an old legend, Andrew the apostle blessed the hills around Kyiv and prophesied victory for Christianity in Ukraine. We know for certain that St. Clement, the third successor of St. Peter was banished by the Emperor Trajan to the Crimea, where he died a martyr and exercized an indelible in­ fluence on the Church in Ukraine. 500 years later, the banished Pope Martin I died a martyr’s death on the Ukrainian coast for the unity of the Church. Martyrdom for Christian unity has remained the glorious characteristic of the Ukrainian Church. It was the first Eastern Church to renew the union with Rome following the Great Schism with the Orient and it has repeatedly sealed its loyalty to the Apostolic See with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. This witness through blood reached its zenith after the Second World War, when Stalin and the Moscow Patriarch forcibly integrated the Ukrainians unit­ ed with Rome into the Orthodox Church. Countless faithful, hundreds of priests and practically every bishop lost their lives through this unecumenical use of force, which those responsible in the Moscow Patriarchate still regard as having been a glorious page in the history of the Orthodox Church. Archbishop Josyf Slipyj survived the atrocities. Not through compromise but through maintaining unswerving loyalty. Even when he was offered the Patriarchal Seat in Moscow with the proviso that he renounce the union with Rome and the primacy of the Pope, he remained faithful and continued on his way of the cross which was to last 18 years. At the beginning of the Vatican Council his seat remained empty, while the representatives of Patriarch Alexej, who was in part responsible for the persecu­ tion, were present. There was a storm of protest. Pope John XXIII intervened personally. The unbending witness to his faith was set free on February 9th, 1963. From that day onwards he ran his Church in the catacombs and in exile from Rome up until September 7th of this year when he died at the age of 92 in the shadow of St. Sophia’s Cathedral which he had built. When the then Archbishop, Metropolitan of Lviv and sole survivor of the Ukrainian bishops (ten of them had been murdered or had died early in So­ viet gaols) was freed after an unjust, inhuman and arbitrarily prolonged im­ prisonment of 18 years and exiled to Rome, he received me straight away. From that moment onwards I was his admirer, his helper, his comrade-in-arms and his friend. He was a Prince of the Church with an iron character. His shattered and weakened body concealed an unbroken spirit. He was a brilliant theologian, a born scholar, and amongst all the Uniates, perhaps the most stubborn and able advocate of a pure Byzantine Rite. That made him a link with the Orthodox Church and the predestined leader of all the oriental Churches united with Rome. But he was a wholehearted spiritual leader also, who had left behind him 1 the beneficial traces of this activity as a priest in countless camps all over the Soviet Union. Each time when his influence became known, he was moved to another prison. Thus he had become a well-known symbol everywhere, outside Western Ukraine too and throughout the Soviet Union, not only for the dispersed Catholics but also for the genuine Orthodox Church which was to be found less among the prelates of the Moscow Patriarchate and more in the ca­ tacombs and concentration camps of Siberia. And because there exists alongside this holy Orthodox Church an unholy, Soviet dominated Orthodox Church, he finally also became an involuntary obstacle to an ecumenical rapprochement with Moscow’s official Church because it will never be possible for Rome to buy peace with the Russian Orthodox Church by betraying five million martyrs and faithful belonging to the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Cardinal Slipyj worked like a giant during his final 21 years in exile. Sub­ sequent generations will come to honour what he achieved for his exiled Church in the free world. I personally can testify to the way in which he begged, urged and requested me and “Aid to the Church in Need” to provide every con­ ceivable and possible assistance for his persecuted, bleeding and struggling Church in his homeland. He lived and died for this Ukrainian Church, in the East and in the West. To assure the continuation of this Church and only for that reason he accept­ ed the title of Patriarch in 1975 at the request of the Ukrainian synod of bishops and in expectation of legal confirmation by the Pope. As a faithful son of the Church who had to suffer more and longer than anybody this century for unity with the Apostolic See, he repeatedly sought this formal confirmation in letters and discussions and finally with the utmost vigour in his spiritual testament. He constantly explained to the ecclesiastical diplomats who were afraid of the atheist reaction that in the Eastern Church neither the Popes nor the world councils had ever created patriarchs of the individual branch Churches. He tirelessly drew attention to the fact that endowing such branch Churches with a patriarchal crown was always the fruit of mature Christian consciousness in God’s people. Many did not understand this point. Even the dying martyr was not granted his wish, although it was not for his personal glory but for the existence of his Church that he sought it. May what he wrote in his spiritual testament about this central problem remain forever in your thoughts: “The Patriarchate which was the vision of your faithful souls has be­ come a living reality for you and will remain so in future. In a short while the Patriarch for whom you are praying will depart this earthly life. The visible symbol, the personification of the Patriarchate in his person will no longer exist. But in your consciousness and in your thoughts a living and real Ukrainian Church bearing a Patriarch’s crown will continue to exist. That is why it is my last wish that you pray as before for the Patriarch of Kyiv, Halyc and all Rus, even if you have no name to include. The time will come when the Al­ mighty will send our Church a Patriarch and reveal his name. We already have our Patriarchate.” As we add our “fiat” at the passing of our beloved Patriarch Josyf Slipyj to-day, let us hope that the precious Ukrainian wheat seed which fell on Roman 2 soil forty days ago will not be wasted but will yield fruit in abundance. It is written that “the soul of this just man is in God’s hands. He tried him and found him worthy.” God sent him trials. He was led along a way of the cross, the like of which hardly any Cardinal before him had to follow. He did so with exemplary loyalty, without hate towards his persecutors, but also without evading the con­ sequences in instances where compromise or escape could have made life easier. He followed the Lord faithfully. Because “where Christ was, there also His servant should be”. He suffered unspeakably while a witness to Christ as a prisoner in the Soviet Union, just as the Lord had prophesied: “And you shall be my witnesses in Je­ rusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1,8).

    24 Carpathian Rus ' INTERETHNIC COEXISTENCE WITHOUT VIOLENCE P R M!" e phenomenon of borderlands together with the somewhat related concept of marginal- ity are topics that in recent years have become quite popular as subjects of research among humanists and social scientists. At a recent scholarly conference in the United States I was asked to provide the opening remarks for an international project concerned with “exploring the origins and manifestations of ethnic (and related forms of religious and social) violence in the borderland regions of east-central, eastern, and southeastern Europe.” 1 I felt obliged to begin with an apologetic explanation because, while the territory I was asked to speak about is certainly a borderland in the time frame under consideration—1848 to the present—it has been remarkably free of ethnic, religious, and social violence. Has there never been contro- versy in this borderland territory that was provoked by ethnic, religious, and social factors? Yes, there has been. But have these factors led to interethnic violence? e answer is no. e territory in question is Carpathian Rus ', which, as will become clear, is a land of multiple borders. Carpathian Rus ' is not, however, located in an isolated peripheral region; rather, it is located in the center of the European continent as calculated by geographers in- terested in such questions during the second half of the nineteenth century. 2 What, then, is Carpathian Rus ' and where is it located specically? Since it is not, and has never been, an independent state or even an administrative entity, one will be hard pressed to nd Carpathian Rus ' on maps of Europe.

  • Latvia the Claim for Independence Leva JÄ Kobsone* * Desk Officer
    Latvia The Claim for Independence leva J�kobsone* The legal basis for de facto renewal of sovereignty of the Republic of Latvia was laid on 4 May 1990, one year before the collapse of the Soviet Union. On this date the Declaration of the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian SSR On the Renewal of the Independence of the Republic of Latvia proclaimed the renewal of independence of the State establishing a transition period for the restoration of de facto independence. The Declaration stated that the incorporation of the Republic of Latvia in the Soviet Union was illegal with respect to general principles of international law and that the Republic of Latvia continued to exist de jure as the subject of international law during the occupation by the Soviet Union. The Declaration partly restated the legal force of the constitutional basis of the pre-war Republic - the Satversme (Constitution). The Declaration expressed the desire: ' (...) To recognize the supremacy of the fundamental principles of intemafional law over national law. To consider illegal the Treaty of August 23, 1939 between the USSR and Germany, and the subsequent liquidation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Latvia on June 17, 1940 which was the result of the USSR military aggression. To declare null and void from the moment of adoption the Decision of July 21, 1940 of the Saeima of Latvia 'On the Republic of Latvia's Joining the USSR'. (...) To guarantee citizens of the Republic of Latvia and those of other States permanently residing in Latvia social, economic and Cultural rights, as well as those political rights and freedoms which comply with the universally recognized international human rights instruments (...).

  • APPLICATION of the CHARTER in UKRAINE 2Nd Monitoring Cycle A
    Strasbourg, 15 January 2014 ECRML (2014) 3 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES APPLICATION OF THE CHARTER IN UKRAINE 2nd monitoring cycle A. Report of the Committee of Experts on the Charter B. Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the application of the Charter by Ukraine The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages provides for a control mechanism to evaluate how the Charter is applied in a State Party with a view to, where necessary, making recommendations for improving its language legislation, policy and practices. The central element of this procedure is the Committee of Experts, set up under Article 17 of the Charter. Its principal purpose is to report to the Committee of Ministers on its evaluation of compliance by a Party with its undertakings, to examine the real situation of regional or minority languages in the State and, where appropriate, to encourage the Party to gradually reach a higher level of commitment. To facilitate this task, the Committee of Ministers adopted, in accordance with Article 15, paragraph1, an outline for periodical reports that a Party is required to submit to the Secretary General. The report should be made public by the State. This outline requires the State to give an account of the concrete application of the Charter, the general policy for the languages protected under Part II and, in more precise terms, all measures that have been taken in application of the provisions chosen for each language protected under Part III of the Charter. The Committee of Experts’ first task is therefore to examine the information contained in the periodical report for all the relevant regional or minority languages on the territory of the State concerned.
