Bulgaria: Vatican diplomacy and the countries of Eastern Europe” “

“The power of God is far greater than the power of the dictators of this world”, declared Monsignor Justo Mullor Garcia, president of the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy, who visited Bulgaria in recent days. “In all the countries of Eastern Europe – he said in a statement to SIR – there is nostalgia for the dictators who represented the former Communist regimes. But there is also a great nostalgia for God and for the Gospel. I think that, in spite of the human catastrophes that occurred in these countries, the time has come for rebirth, for people to rediscover themselves and to rediscover God. I think that in the near future these countries, which have suffered a great deal, will rise again precisely thanks to their sacrifice”.
