>I'm sure Russia will be fine
God let it be truth
>That Bolshevik Putin
He's anything but Bolshevik doe
>using the ROC as a means of indoctrinating the public into believing the war in Ukraine
I don't want to make you upset, but for majority of Russians church is not something very important. We're not as commie as you imagine us to be but also not as conservative as you imagine us to be either.
>Even the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople condemns the ROC for its support of the government
Patriarch of Constantinople isn't an Orthodox Pope. They are equal with our Patriarch.
>which makes me sad my Russian brothers have faltered away from Christs' teachings of peace and humility.
Keyed, but Christianity isn't about peace only but also about protecttion as far I know.
>Empire was a protector of Orthodoxy, which is completely different from the Russia of today.
Fortunately, Orthodoxy doesn't need any protection nowadays.
>I believe one of two things will soon happen. Either Russia will succumb to Western influence and become a "social democracy" and begin to secularize, or the ROC will become so far away from the other churches, that it will become one of the "non-canonical" sects
I can assure you that none of these will ever happen, friend.
>God save Russia.
Thank you, brother in Christ, may God have mercy on us.
