Now explain to me how you think this moronic proceeding does anything to help the anti-Putin cause anywhere except among the wealthy hedonists in the West? That's who this was meant for. If people on my side of any issue did something like this, I would denounce them in no uncertain terms. It's despicable.

You keep assiduously avoiding the issue that a Putin KGB associate was placed as the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Church has become a mouthpiece for Putin's fascism.

I'm Episcopal. If that Church were named as the state church and Eric Holder were put in charge, and it aided and abetted an Obama crackdown on political liberties, I would approve doing far worse to that church than Pussy Riot did in that video. You act like the Russian Orthodox Church is a true Christian church now instead of an organ of a fascist state. I'm sure there are millions of good Christians who worship with the church. But the very institution has been corrupted to its core.

Really? Boy, they've sure got the Pope fooled.
