Topic: Lubomyr Husar


  
  The Word From Rome
In 1996, Husar became an auxiliary bishop to Cardinal Ivan Lubachivsky, and in 2000 succeeded him as head of the church.
Husar explained that the Catholic church remains unwilling to adopt the structural reforms, above all in favor of local autonomy, necessary for reunion to be a realistic option.
The first two point to Husar as a bridge between East and West; the third suggests he could be a symbol of the full catholicity of the church, of its unity in diversity.

 wcr:02/24x/2003 -- Cardinal Lubomyr Husar: Papal candidate seeks reunion between East, West
Cardinal Lubomyr Husar, head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, is more amused than embarrassed that he is considered a dark horse candidate to become the next pope.
Husar, the major Archbishop of Lviv, was appointed as a cardinal only two years ago in a move viewed as an attempt by Pope John Paul to support Catholic churches in predominantly Eastern Orthodox countries where, Husar admits, ecumenism is at a virtual standstill.
"Husar is bright, modest, pastoral, and as a patriarch of one of the 21 Eastern rite Catholic churches, he feels the case for collegiality and inculturation in his bones," Allen wrote in a later column.

Cardinal Lubomyr Husar said he was grateful for Pope John Paul II's call for prayers for the country but that the time had come for a "moral statement" on the political crisis rocking Ukraine.
Husar came to Rome for Vatican consultations and is scheduled to meet with the pope on Tuesday.
Husar said the crisis has clearly embarrassed some at the Vatican, who have been pushing for good relations with the Russian Orthodox Church, whose Moscow patriarchate is also the dominant church in Ukraine.

But Husar, recently elected to head the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine and elevated to cardinal by Pope John Paul II on Feb. 22, is fiercely loyal to Rome.
Husar leads a church of about 5.5 million "Greek Catholics" who are loyal to Rome but worship using the Eastern rites familiar to the Orthodox.
Husar predicted a warm welcome for the pope from the Ukrainian people who are awakening from a long spiritual darkness under communism and are looking for a "spiritual injection." Husar said he wants to avoid any "unpleasant confrontations" but remains adamant that the pope has the right to visit his flock.

 30Days - Our “mission with a deadline”

 The Word From Rome
Husar is bright, modest, pastoral, and as a patriarch of one of the 21 Eastern Rite Catholic Churches, he feels the case for collegiality and inculturation in his bones.
Husar, however, stood during the main papal Mass in L’viv and apologized to the Orthodox for any Greek Catholics who might be looking to them with malice in their hearts.
The truth, however, is that Husar is far more amused than he is offended at the suggestion; from his point of view, I might as well be talking about him sprouting wings and flying to Mars.

 CNS STORY: Ukrainian cardinal said new vote was best way out of electoral crisis
Cardinal Lubomyr Husar of Lviv made the remarks at a Rome press conference Dec. 3, shortly before the Ukrainian Supreme Court invalidated a November election that had been awarded to Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.

Cardinal Husar said the election was marred by a group of current leaders who have "accumulated riches and are trying to protect those riches at any cost," using autocratic means to try to crush democratic expression.

HUSAR: Our request for a patriarchate is not aimed at closing the possibility of communion with the Orthodox, but precisely to enter dialogue with them as equal partners.
HUSAR: That would be another matter to deal with at the Synod: to clarify what it means for an Eastern Church to be in communion with the See of Peter.
