Wishful and very biased thinking on your part.
What insight do you have into my wishes? I am Russian ethnically, American citizen, and a convert to the Catholic Church. My views on Putin and the Moscow Patriarchate Church are formed by intelligent people who I respect who live in Russia, view the events in Ukraine wishing the Russians could have a similar national spirit, and have despaired over the Soviet Orthodox Church. None of that concerns me directly. I’d be happy to believe the glaze-and-sparkle picture of Putin/Gundyaev trio leading Russia back to authentic Christianity, but it just doesn’t seem to relate to any reality.
Needless to say, like any Catholic convert I have no ill-will whatsoever to the Orthodox Church as a general proposition, or as most ethnic Churches, and consider them Catholic in spirit already. The situation in the Former Soviet Union is distressful to me precisely because I want Russia to be Orthodox Christian once again.
Our leaders make similar displays of spirituality, by the way. Visits to black churches, prayer breakfasts, papal masses in Washington, they are all there, like wind-up dolls.
