But for the existence of the Mother Church there could be no question of a diaspora Church! Just as the Jewish people in captivity in Babylon inevitably adapted to heathen customs as soon as they forgot Jerusalem, so too the Ukrainian diaspora would lose its identity but for its inner links with the Mother Church. TTiis fatal assimila­ tion sets off a process not only in the ethnic but also in the religious field that would end for our people with the loss of its inward nature and its Catholic faith." Throughout his 67 years of faithful pastoral ser­ vice Patriarch Josyf always asked his faithful to spiritually and morally speak out in support of their Christian brothers. "But it is not enough just to speak. You must pray and work, and above all you must lead a consistently Christian life..." he said. And when he was asked about the future of the Ukrainian Catholic Church and the establishment of a patriarchate, he replied, many a time: "I beg The St. Sophia Sobor in Rome (seen here while under construction), which was built on the you to find a man who lives without hope." initiative of tlie patriarch. - Compiled by Marta Kolomayets THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16,1984 No. 38

At th^ time, we suggested that Mr. Graham's flippant remarks about religious freedom in the USSR did a cruel disservice to the thousands of religious From our pages in 1979 activists sufTering for their faith in an officially atheistic society.

That event, too, was tour that will take him to Moscow, Leningrad, Novosibirsk and Tallinn. observed in total silence. What's more, he appears to be unrepentant about his controversial remarks The best attestation of SUSTA's continuing dormancy - a malaise that has concerning religious repression, noting upon his arrival in Moscow that his afflicted this youth organization in the 1970s — were the reports of the outgoing statements two years ago had been "woefully misinterpreted." officers at the 18th congress held last weekend at'Soyuzivka. That is, of those who Mr. Graham's palliatives notwithstanding, our opposition to his visits has did show up, becausea few didn't even bother. The said reports revealed that a great not changed because little has changed in the Soviet Union. The Ukrainian deal was planned, but that almost nothing was accomplished. Some of the reasons Catholic Church continues to be outlawed, and thousands of unregistered surfaced in the process of recriminations that the executive board did not keep Baptists, Pentecostals, Adventists, as well as Jews, continue to be hounded, adequate contacts with individual hromadas and, conversely, that the latter showed arrested and imprisoned for their faith. What also has not changed is no interest in what the executive board was doing or planning to do. Moscow's knack for exploiting legitimate concerns for long-term political As in previous years, reports of individual hromadas confirmed that there is mileage. Already the Soviet press is ignoring M r.

But they must realize that SUSTA is exploiting such qualities.
