Kresy (The Borderland)
Kresy to historia ostatnich dni Kresów Wschodnich przedwojennej II Rzeczpospolitej oraz pierwszych dni tak zwanych Ziem Odzyskanych, oparta na dramatycznych i pełnych emocji świadectwach Polaków zmuszonych do opuszczenia swej ojcowizny na Kresach.
Poruszające świadectwa ostatnich żyjących świadków, są fundamentem tego fabularyzowanego dokumentu. Z każdej opowieści wyziera tęsknota za pięknem utraconej ziemi ojców oraz niepewność i tymczasowość związana z życiem na zachodnich rubieżach powojennej Polski, które wolno, z biegiem lat zostają uznana za nowy dom. Losy wysiedlonych Polaków są w filmie reprezentowane przez parę młodych ludzi, którzy przetrwali piekło wojny i przesiedleń. Najbardziej kolorowe i pogodne sceny kresowego wesela, Wielkanocy, Bożego Narodzenie, kontrastują z przerażającymi zbrodniami II Wojny Światowej takimi jak radziecka i niemiecka okupacja, ludobójstwo na ludności polskiej przeprowadzone przez ukraińskich nacjonalistów z OUN-UPA, czy wreszcie gehenna transportu na tzw. ziemie odzyskanie. “Kresy” są filmem upamiętniającym tragedię wymordowanych i wypędzonych Polaków, oderwanych od swych korzeni i domów. Film jest hołdem dla cierpienia rodzin kresowych, zarówno tych które przetrwały jak i tych, które na zawsze pozostały na Kresach.
The story of the last days of “Eastern Borderlands” – the former eastern part of Polish territory before the World War II – and the first days of so called “Recovered Territories” (former German territory which became western part of Poland after the WW II), based on dramatic testimonies of the expelled, forced to abandon their homes.
Emotional, moving testimonies are the foundation of the movie. The homesickness of the beauty of the lost fatherland appears from these stories, as well as uncertainty and temporariness of the new place of living which slowly, through the years was accepted as a new homeland. Deportees fortunes are pictured by the experiences of one family, that survives the exodus. The story of the movie runs according to the rhythm of seasons and traditional Polish feasts. The most colorful and bright parts of the movie like (acted out) wedding, Easter rituals or Christmas are contrasted with the most horrifying acts of the World War II such as Russian and German occupation, genocide of the Polish in Volhynia and finally evictions and fatal railway transports. “The Borderland” is the movie which memorialize tragedy of the humiliated people broken out from their roots and their homes. The film is the tribute to them and their relatives who lost their lives during that terrible time and to those who were left forever on the Eastern Borderlands, separated from their beloved by the frontiers of the Soviet Union.

From March 4-6, 2009 altogether 19 Bishops from various countries have visited the ITI (International Theological Institute) in Gaming, Austria. 150 Attendees listened attentively while the Bishops of the Eastern Catholic Churches did discuss on the Symposium The Mission of the Eastern Catholic Churches in the Life of the Universal Church and for the Modern World.
The Consensus was, that the Eastern Catholic Churches are aware of their role as bridge builders helping to connect Orthodox Christians with Roman Catholics through Dialogue and a deeper understandig.
This certainly is a continuous challenge as the Eastern Catholic Churches are often seen by their Orthodox brothers as betrayers and by Roman Catholics as strangely different.
The Eastern Catholic Churches do acknowledge the Pope of Rome as the head of their Church, at the same time they cherish their Orthodox traditions, which manifests especially in the colorful Byzantine Liturgy, the Jesus Prayer (Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me) and many other details like accepting married priests etc.
One Bishop said on the Symposium at the ITI in Gaming: it is good to know the differences between the Churches. But isnt it the most essential to follow the footseps of Christ, seeking to life according to the Gospel? What testimony can be greater than LOVE? If we learn to love each other and learn to love even our enemies, then Jesus Christ will truly live in our hearts. Like this we will give the greatest testimony to the world.
Wont enemies eventually cease to exist, if your love conquers their heart? Think about it.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC; Ukrainian: Українська греко-католицька церква (УГКЦ), translit. Ukrajinsjka hreko-katolycjka cerkva; Latin: Ecclesia Graeco-Catholica Ucrainae) is a Byzantine Rite Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with the Holy See. It is the second-largest particular church (sui juris) in the Catholic Church (after the Latin, or Roman, Church).
The church is one of the successor churches to the acceptance of Christianity by Grand Prince Vladimir the Great of Kiev, in 988. Its predecessor appeared in 1596 with the signing of the Union of Brest between the Ruthenian Orthodox Church (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) led by Michael Rohoza and the Holy See. Following the partitions of Poland, in 1808 the eparchies of the original Ruthenian Uniate Church (Latin: Ecclesia Ruthena unita) were split three ways between the Austrian Empire (3), Prussia (1), and the Russian Empire (5). Those three eparchies under Austrian jurisdiction were reorganized as the Greek Catholic Church soon after liquidation of all five eparchies that ended up in Russia. The Greek Catholic Church in Austria became a survivor of the original uniate church of the Brest Union (the other being the Uzhhorod Union).
In 1963 the church was recognized as Ukrainian through the efforts of Yosyf Slipyi.
The ordinary (or hierarch) of the church holds the title of Major archbishop of Kiev-Halych and All Ruthenia, though the hierarchs and faithful of the church have acclaimed their ordinary as Patriarch and have requested Papal recognition of, and elevation to, this title. Major archbishop is a unique title within the Catholic Church that was introduced in 1963 as part of political compromise. Since March 2011 the head of the church is Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk.
Within Ukraine itself, the UGCC is a minority of the religious population, being a distant second to the majority Eastern Orthodox faith. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is the second largest religious organization in Ukraine in terms of number of communities. In terms of number of members, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church ranks third in allegiance among the population of Ukraine after the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchate. Currently, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church predominates in three western oblasts of Ukraine, including the majority of the population of Lviv, but constitutes a small minority elsewhere in the country. The church has followed the spread of the Ukrainian diaspora and now has some 40 hierarchs in over a dozen countries on four continents, including three other metropolitan bishops in Poland, the United States, and Canada.
AA Squad
Had perhaps one of the best rounds ever on Sambir as an AA squad. Props to Kreldon, and NotOneofUs for grabbing the plumbing pipes and grounding the Ukraine Air.
