I came across an interesting story by John L. Allen Jr. in the online edition of the National Catholic Reporter. John Allen is a hardworking journalist respected even by colleagues who differ greatly with most of what appears in NCR. A recent book of his about Opus Dei, an organization with which I am somewhat familiar, seemed to me a fair and objective view by a perceptive outside observer.

The present article is an overview of the situation of the Catholic Church at this time in Ukraine.

I link it here and welcome comments:
