The only thing Kapner is good for is political punditry. He has nothing to say about the spiritual life. That ought to have been the first indication to jump ship, but as evidenced on these forums, way too many "trads" have been seduced by it. It all goes back to the myth that Putin and Russia are somehow a new Christian resistance to the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. Tell me then comrades, if you were a true Christian leader, would you hold a national holiday celebrating Communism, Stalin, and Lenin? Would you invite a notorious dictator who fed his own uncle to hungry dogs as a guest to watch said day's proceedings?
I think nyet!
