The second largest Christian church in the world, with 300 million adherents, is now much closer to the original Church as founded by Christ and his apostles. It also has extensive experience surviving communism and hasn't been hijacked by homosexuals. Wiki: Eastern Orthodox Church

Why do you think the “Orthodox Church” hasn’t been attacked by the homosexuals?

I want you to know that I esteem and love the Orthodox Church and regard its spiritual heritage as very, very valuable. And I have strong personal connections with Orthodoxy, having been a kind of Catholic-Catechumen in an Russian Orthodox parish for ten years.

Having said that, I also have to add a corrective note that Orthodoxy collapsed on the divorce-remarriage question and the natural-sex-vs-contraception question ages ago --- collapsed at just those points where the corrupt culture was pushing hardest.

And about Russian Orthodoxy's relationship with the Soviet KGB and now Putin's regime --- and Metropolitian Hilarion's calculated decision to use State power to crush the Ukrainian Byzantine church ---- Orthodoxy's most loyal supporters would prudently keep their mouths shut.
