(Sir Europe - Bratislava) - Before the next parliamentary election, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) will address the believers with a call to make a conscious choice for the sake of implementation of the Christian values, said His Beatitude Sviatoslav Schevchuk, the head of the UGCC, in regard to the election due to take place in Ukraine on 28 October 2012. As he recently stressed in a TV interview for the Ukrainian Channel 5 http://5ua/ , the election is an “important, non-ordinary event” and the future of each citizen depends on it. “We know that Ukrainians are tired of democracy. But we are calling on them to make their choice and not to escape from it. For not to make a choice is a great evil, a manifestation of civil immaturity”, affirmed His Beatitude Sviatoslav, inviting people to vote “for the implementation of Christian values in public and social life”. Afterwards, he emphasized that the UGCC will not allow its clergy to participate in the election campaign: “We want to help to build the insitute of civil society and be active not in political but in public life”.
