The Russian government expelled another two Roman Catholic priests this week, bringing to five the number of foreign Catholic clergy stripped of their visas this year in what Catholic leaders say is a campaign to curb the church's work in the predominantly Orthodox Christian country.
The priests, both Polish citizens, each had been working in Russian parishes for a decade: the Revs. Edward Mackiewicz in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and Jaroslaw Wisniewski on Russia's Pacific coast.
