“The lesson is not to be forgotten: in a not too distant day when Russia, like the prodigal son, will return to the father’s house, let not Western civilization refuse to accept it back or absent itself from the feast celebrating the salvation of what was lost. Constant obedience is better than repentance, but the truly obedient will always rejoice in the repentant… The land which once was known as Holy Russia may become again the wellspring whence a pure stream of Christianity may flow.”
— Ven. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1948, Communism and Conscience of the West; The Cross of Christ)

Thank you. I had heard that in the past. Having worked in Moscow, I can say they now have now a much higher moral ground than the West. A “ resurgence “., churches rebuilt, “ faith” increasing, building up the Church not tearing it down.
Just one look at the US has verified we have fallen, gay marriage, boys in girls bathrooms, men in woman’s sports, our government taken by Trans, LGBQRs, the list is long,…and we codified all the filth into law!….no such thing in Russia.
