It's a sacred principle.
Cardinal Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti spoke about the circumstances of the recent talks in Minsk.
At the beginning of his conversation with Vatican News, the cardinal noted that the first part of the conversation with Lukashenko was devoted to the war and its senselessness and inhumanity. Then the speech turned to issues concerning the Catholic Church.
The release of two Catholic priests - Henrych Okolotowicz and Andrzej Juchniewicz - the papal envoy called "a concrete result of diplomacy that never closes doors."
Cardinal Guggerotti also responded to a question about the possible visit of Pope Lion XIV to Belarus:
- The Pope will never go where his visit would create division. It is a holy principle: the Pope goes where the people can benefit, not to foment confrontation. Conditions must be created so that everyone is convinced of the objective value of the visit for the people, not for any one "bell tower." This is the work to be done. Will there be success immediately or tomorrow? We do not know.
We recall that Cardinal Guggerotti came to Belarus on October 27. He had a meeting with Lukashenko.
