Stanie\u016dski, secretary general at the CCBB since April 2021, replaced Aleh Butkievi\u010d who will serve as deputy chairman. Bishop Juryj Kasabucki is the new CCBB secretary general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Archbishop of Minsk and Mahilo\u016d will chair the CCBB for the first time since early 2021, following the retirement of Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz, whose criticism of police violence during the 2020 political crisis irritated Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka and his officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kondrusiewicz headed the archdiocese since 2007 and chaired the CCBB since mid-2015. Pope Francis accepted his resignation as he turned 75 in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
