He’s a Putin-approved theocrat. There is no separation of church in state in Russian, and very little freedom for religions not approved by Putin. This isn’t Christianity, this “Patriarch” anymore than the Hitler-approved German church was Christian in the 1930s and 40s.

I seem to recall there was some contention about this, maybe a year ago. Russians who escaped the Communists were upset I thought? But Patriarch Kirill's statement made reference to those people.
Is Kirill one of the goods guys? He gets a lot of flak but Hilarion gave a statement on his behalf at Francis' so-called "synod on the family" that I thought was good. Or maybe I'm misremembering completely.

That’s good. There will never be someone radicalized by attending the church. No one is going to run out and blow up things after attending a service.

He’s coming to the US - a society where his presence is sorely needed. I cannot wait to be near him and receive his blessing.
