You mean the church that sold out to the religion of communism?
I am glad they did this, too. It may be, however, more about infighting, outfighting and position than any real conviction.

In any case, I am just as pleased to have any and all, hypocrits or not do whatever to show the church of which I am a member that the way they have taken is not The Way.

Spirited ( which you obviously are not)

You are so wrong on so many levels. When YOUR Church suffers over 1 million dead members and priests at the hands of the commies in the USSR.... like the Russian Orthodox Christian Church did.... THEN YOU CAN MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH.

Until then, you remain a religious bigot.

Marmema I pinged you to this because you have been in Russia and know so much about this Church and Her people.

You mean the church that saw the Communists kill 30,000 of its clergy members? Doesn't sound like they sold out on anything! Sounds like the ones who were willing to vocally resist were all killed! Fortunately for us, those who were willing to quietly resist won!

Can you name any Western Church that resisted Communism at such a cost? Maybe we should start referring to them as the Churches that cowered quietly from the Communists while being safe and far away!

The World Council of Churches formally maintained ties to the commies all during the 20th century and still absolutely adore Castro.

Can you be as vindictive against the WCC's members?
