Tell that to the 85,000 Orthodox priests that Stalin had killed in a single year. By 1940, there were fewer than 500 Russian churches with an Orthodox pastor.

I guess you're helping us understand why the partriarch Kirill is a known agent of the KGB?

In fairness, I’m a Catholic, and the fact that the Russian Orthodox Church, being based in a single nation, was capable of being destroyed is a fundamental reason I subscribe to the notion of catholicity over national churches

So how'd you feel about those Catholic priests that were kidnapped in Crimea and threatened?

Actually, yes, I’m explaining that the only survivors are those that the KGB thought would be useful. But I don’t know how to hold that against Kirill; Pope John Paul II was the greatest anti-communist that ever lived, and the communists signed off on his elevation to Archbishop of Gdansk.

The one Catholic priest I read about IN HIS DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS had a little shrine set up in his living room in honor of Bander. This is unbelievable, since Bander anaihilated an entire community of 10s of 1000s of Polish-Ukrainians in a futile attempt to win favor of the fuhrer. I was deeply scandalized by reading that account. But then, there are Catholic nuns in America who support Obamacare, so I’ve learned long ago that clerics can put worldly concerns ahead of the true faith.

I read an article about how the KGB used to infiltrate the Russian orthodox churches and use priests as spies. It sounded plausible, actually, to use them as double agents.

But this false flag conspiracy theory about burning the pro-Russians seems too convoluted and complicated. The Russian special forces wouldn’t put themselves in the building, or on the roof, they aren’t suicidal.
