Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca on Friday said in a message occasioned by the 15th anniversary since the enthronement of Patriarch Daniel that the institution the latter leads, the Romanian Orthodox Church, represents a model of generosity and is "fully committed to the Romanian society."
Nicolae Ciuca underscored the "support" of the Romanian Orthodox Church during the pandemic, but also the help offered to refugees following the war in Ukraine.
"The care that Your Beatitude showed continuously towards Romanian society was not limited to prayer, but extended into the practical sphere through the support shown by the Romanian Orthodox Church towards fellow citizens during the pandemic and towards those forced to leave their country because of the illegal, unprovoked and unjustified war of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. Under the shepherding of Your Beatitude, the Romanian Orthodox Church represents a model of generosity and solidarity, a promoter and preserver of traditions and spiritual identity. With special appreciation, I wish you to continue your pastoral mission, with the same power until now, in the service of the Romanians in the country and in the diaspora," the Prime Minister's message also reads.
