America doesn't have the Catholic/Orthodox traditions that Russia does, and I don't expect it to. However, it would be a big help if His Holiness would quit denigrating traditionalists, who make up a big chunk of American Catholics. It's beginning to look as though he hates us. Given that, it's hard to support whatever efforts he might make to aid Christians in Muslim countries.
