Look up the author on this one. What a disgrace for Cato that they publish him.
Every Ukrainian and Orthodox reader would spot the errors in two seconds, but the article is good enough for editors at national review and cato institute.
Author is such an authority on the subject that he doesn’t realize the Kiev patriarchate doesn’t actually exist.
“or that belong to the Kiev patriarchate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have been approved.”
Russian regular troop barracks in seized churches, really?
So unpolitical and balanced, that there is no equivalent mention of the many seizures of Moscow patriarchate orthodox churches. That’s not journalism, that’s propaganda.
And written so carefully to avoid acknowledging functioning catholic and jewish places of worship.
Well, no one has very high expectations of the national review anymore anyway
The whole Ukraine-Russia situation is savage. Crimea is rape, yet the forced importation of millions of Russians after the communist revolution isn’t?
I am thoroughly confused. I know where my heart lies though.
I’m sorry but did this writer intentionally compose this to sound like propaganda? I kept expecting the next sentence to be about babies on bayonets.
Today is my luncheon date with Russian /Ukrainian friends in Hollywood...I’ll get their take and pass it on.
The Ukrainian govt recently formed a state-run church, and seized all Orthodox churches.
