There are 2 groups of Catholics in Greece; the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rite - Greek Catholics. Although both are distrusted, the latter because they SO resemble the Orthodox, are disliked even moreso and seen as "poachers" amongst " the Orthodox faithful. Perhaps writing to "Aid to the Church in Need" and suggesting in light of this article that a special collection be set up to help both Latin and Eastern Catholics would be of great help.

Greece is bearing the brunt of the Moslem refugee crisis with few resources to help their own people. Also, the Balkan Wars of the 1990s that were/are seen as the demonization and destruction of Serbia a fellow Orthodox country by the United States/Germany/NATO/Vatican has resulted in deep anti Western and Catholic resentment among Greek people; probably they take it out on the Catholics there. The unwillingness to forget and forgive always has tragic consequences.
