If Putin considers himself a “Christian” I wonder how he reconciles that with being a dictator.
The same way other dictators have been ever since about 100 AD.
The same way Nancy Pelosi goes from cheer-leading and funding the murder of the unborn on a scale even Nazi Germany would have rejected, to The Church for Holy Communion.
The same way The Church will give her the Blood and Body of Christ, even in The Vatican itself.
