Putin has said kinder things about Christianity than O has
I never thought I’d see the day the leader of Russia made more sense than the leader of the U.S.
Hey, perhaps a few US Military “leaders” will get the memo from Putin.
Oh, I forgot, they are squashing Christians and replacing them with “gyas” and atheists.
Although I have some minute doctrinal issues with Orthodoxy, I absolutely LOVE the Divine Liturgy, The Icons, the Music, The Incense, even the Vestments.
I grew up in a Neighborhood with Greek, Syrian, Ukrainian, and Russian Orthodox Churches, and would stand for hours holding a lit candle for the Easter Services, and took many pictures of the Interiors for which I produced a multi-Media program as a college Project.
The Orthodox and Coptic Churches are now on the Front Lines in the worldwide persecution of Christians in Muslim Lands. I have read that more Christians are being slaughtered in those countries than in the days of Nero and Diocletian.
Remember, though, the Russian Church has survived 80 years of Communism, most of those years under Stalin. Now it is coming back stronger than ever.
There is hope for all of us.
Notice, I didn't say American.
Hmmm. Is what he said the truth? Was it their faith, or fear of death by their government. Maybe Putin is using the idea that religion is the opium of the people for his own motives. Whatever his motives, nothing but good can come of it. Prayers for the Russians to seek the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Putin getting a clue about what works for a society, and what doesn’t.
One of the most momentous historical changes in the history of the world: the Christianization of Russia. God Bless V. Putin.
