Cardinal Charles Bo of Yangon, Myanmar on Hagia Sophia: It reopens wounds and exacerbates divides

Cardinal Charles Bo of Yangon, Myanmar on Hagia Sophia: It reopens wounds and exacerbates divides

“How does turning what was once the world’s largest cathedral into a mosque do anything except sow tensions, divide people and inflict pain? How does placing Hagia Sophia into the hands of people who have no sense of its history and heritage and who will destroy its Christian identity help bring people together? How does seizing Hagia Sophia uphold Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? It doesn’t. It merely reopens wounds and exacerbates divides at a time when we should be healing humanity”, said Cardinal Charles Bo of Yangon, Myanmar, the President of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences regarding Hagia Sophia.
