Putin’s propaganda isn’t persuading the millions of good people in Russia.
Americans need to know that and drop the Russophobia.
Please add to the Orthodox ping.
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!
A few of the Putin fan boys posted how St Vlad was the guardian of the Orthodox church.
Soon Putin will be like Hitler in the final weeks before the end, isolated all alone down in some bunker, just a few fanatical devoted stooges at his side.
Putin has gone well out of his way to identify Orthodoxy with Russian patriotism. This is gonna leave a mark ...
Well, there you have it.
Putin is SUPPOSED to be an Orthodox Christian. I remember reading of his conversion a few years back.
Again SUPPOSED to be an Orthodox Christian.
By their works you will know them.
I would not be surprised if Putin, seeing the invasion getting FUBARed, directed the church to call for a stop. This way he can pull out in a demonstration of fidelity to his church rather than bowing to NATO.
1%. (There are 40,000 ROC priests, but I’ll round up, given how many are likely aged/infirmed.)
It’s a start. With the incredible pressures in the Church against bucking the hierarchy (I say this as a Catholic who sees the pressures in his own church), you certainly don’t have to reach 50% to show some sort of “majority agreement,” rather the point is merely to register dissent.
Western nations need to smash that church along with Russia.
After Putin is removed, Russia will be divided up and managed by non Russians. They will be forced to pay war reparations to Ukraine and others.
Amen!
How dare anyone challenge the intentions of St.Putin!
