Umm... did you see this sentence in my post? "But most devout Christians, whether Catholic or Orthodox, were persecuted by the Communists, and had to flee, many to the U.S.

Read a little more carefully. I never DENIED anything that you pointed out. In fact, in this sentence from my post, "Many of the Orthodox Churches, which were divided by country, collaborated with the Communists, and some Catholic priests also colloborated with the Commies," POINTED OUT the very thing you just said. In fact, in another part of "The Black Book of Communism," the authors DOCUMENTED the slaughter of Orthodox Christians in Russia and other countries. I wasn't making a blanket statement, like many do. Again I say that I never DENIED this.

Could the real issue you have be the statement I closed my post with? Please clarify, and also reread my post.

I am very tired of hearing that Orthodox Christians collaborated with anybody....That Church has survived the muslims, the tatars, the Croatian nazis, the muslim turks, the KLA, the Germans, the nasty commmies.

And, they sit right now in the hot seats surrounded by extremist muslim hords...in places like Chetyna, KosovO, Mcedonia, Bulgaria, Egypt, Uganda and Ethiopia .

They are always in danger...if ever there were a Church which has suffered EXTREME persecutions from satan...it is the Eastern Orthodox.

If ever they falter, even slightly...there are always those safe-little Christians in foreign lands who say...."BOO HISS-naaaaananana"... to the Orthodox Christians.

Instead of saying, "There but by the GRACE OF GOD, go I", these little safe Christians... look for what they perceive as Orthodox "flaws".

I heard pat robinson say one time on his TV show...that the Orthodox worship "idols"

Of course they don't worship idols.... and they also don't go on TV and cast aspersions on other Christians, who have suffered for their FAITH, either.
