Excellent newsletter. I read about the Churches support of the invasion, as well as the other atrocities like child kidnappings. These people are despicable and just shows you what people will do for wealth and power.
The Russian Orthodox Church reminds me of America’s evangelicals; in both cases, they wouldn’t know Jesus if he were living on earth, preaching in the streets, and staring them in the face.
In fact, I’d posit, they’d probably have him crucified: Again, as a left-wing radical Jew…:)
Sharp piece. The Kremlin’s “defender of faith” act masks missile strikes, abducted children, and a captured church network. The moral line between Moscow’s performative Orthodoxy and Ukrainian faith in bombed-out basements is exactly what “peace now” proponents keep dodging.
I recommend the Spy in the Archive book to anyone trying to understand Russian intelligence, including long-time collaboration between the Orthodox Church and the KGB.
