The Russian church does have something of a penchant for blaming the masons first...
It'll be interesting to see how the masons are painted in Browns book.
One point of contention between the masons and the Russian church though is that the Russian church does not neccessarily beleive in the sort of strict secular state which masonry strongly advocates...
Its for this reason there are religion classes in many Russian public schools
The Roman Church does as well. To join the Freemasons is automatic excommunication for us Catholics
