(RNS9-AUG27) The opening of the first Catholic university in the former Soviet Union is “a stage
in getting independence from the Latin Catholics,” says Yakov Krotov, a Moscow-based Ukranian
Catholic historian and religious commentator for Radio Liberty, the U.S. government-funded radio
station that broadcasts in Russian. The Ukrainian Catholic University, based in the western
Ukrainian city of Lviv, opens Monday, Sept. 2. See RNS-UKRAINE-CATHOLICS, transmitted
