The Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine has survived turbulent times, including when it was driven underground during Soviet rule. Today, the church makes its way in a free Ukraine. But that doesn’t mean it operates in a world free from politics.Worldview talks to the Church’s new Patriarch, Sviatoslav Shevchuk, who's only 41 years old. The former patriarch willingly retired to turn over leadership to Shevchuk, known in the church as a charismatic leader. The archbishop gives Worldview a mini-history of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and its place in Ukraine’s spiritual life.
