Catholic archbishop rejects the practice of proselytism in Russia

Moscow, May 14, Interfax - Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz, leader of the Catholics in Russia, has stated his strong rejection of the practice of proselytism, which is conversion of Orthodox Russian into Catholicism.

‘Russia is above all an Orthodox country and it is the Russian Orthodox Church that is responsible in the first place for converting people (to Christianity - IF)’, he said at the conference held in Moscow last Saturday to mark the 90th anniversary of the appearance of the Mother of God at Fatima, Portugal.
