Cardinal Conrad Krajewski, in charge of the Vatican’s humanitarian programs, sent cash assistance to a group of transgender prostitutes in a city near Rome. This was reported by Reuters.
It is reported that prostitutes working on the streets of a coastal city near the Italian capital turned to a local priest to help them get food. The Catholic Church supported them. According to the 56-year-old Kraevsky, this is nothing more than following Christian principles.
“I do not understand why this attracts so much attention. This is the usual work of the church, this is normal, ”the cardinal said in a conversation with reporters. He pointed out that people in this situation very often do not have documents – they were taken by pimps – and therefore they can not count on the help of the state.
Krajewski, one of the Vatican’s youngest cardinals, is called the “Pope Robin Hood”: he is known for dressing in ordinary clothes and delivering food for homeless people around Rome.
He also opposes the anti-immigrant position of Italian Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. Since 2013, he has been responsible for charity under the supervision of Pope Francis .
SARS-CoV-2 epidemic of coronavirus infection led to the crisis in Italy: more than 207 thousand cases of infection were confirmed in the country, more than 28 thousand patients died due to complications caused by the infection. Since late March, the number of new cases detected has been gradually decreasing.
