And once again, that church is now headed by an ex-KGB associate of Putin's and is now a cheerleader for Putin's fascism.
I would think that desecrates the church far worse than anything Pussy Riot could dream up.
I know that. That’s why the issue is hopelessly confused.
The indisputable fact is that you can’t mock God and the sign of the cross in a Russian Orthodox Church without bringing anti-Putin actions to a completely different level.
Someone told them to do this, without telling them that the goal was to fire up anti-Christian sentiment and block the arguments against what they did with the chess piece that is opposition to Putin.
Clever, but “your arms too short to box with God.”
I’m still pissed about that guy going into the Temple and knocking over all of those tables and chasing folks and animals out with a whip.
