From Rorate Cæli
Moscow is not the “Third Rome”, as some quite misguided Catholics (!!!) say — it is just the third Moscow. The first was the czarist anti-Catholic one; the second, the Soviet anti-Christian one; and the third, the current, also anti-Catholic one. In all three versions, the Catholics of Ukraine (and Poland/Lithuania, whenever occupied) were the greatest victims.
For decades, the Moscow “Patriarchate” has been just a religious arm of the KGB (“FSB”), as it became clear once again this week in the bizarre event in which an “Orthodox” priest blessed a huge statue of… Stalin,
The religious justification for him was that Stalin’s persecution was
great because it led to so many millions of martyrs — not a joke:
So, there you go: as bad, and as filled with despair, as the situation in the Catholic Church may be, it still is not a creepy KGB unit. Becoming Eastern “Orthodox” is becoming an accomplice of the KGB.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
