I'm considering a move to Southern Russia for several reasons not the least of which pertains to the message of Fatima. I am hoping to convince some priests to relocate as well. It seems to me that traditional Catholic priests would be of primary importance in assisting in the eventual conversion of the Nation.
I recall years ago that there was much more focus on not only praying for Russia but as I understand it the sspx had originally set its sights on setting up chapels there as well. This has obviously declined.
Has anyone else considered this?
In Russia, once you've agreed with your neighbour that you don't like gαy Pride, there is precious little else you will be able to talk about. The Catholic mind is tuned to an ordered Logos which no other religious or political doctrine has, and this makes things very difficult when talking with Russians.
For example, a Russian could have a picture of Lenin, Stalin, Christ, Nicolas II and Putin on the wall of his living room, without ever caring about the contradiction. Imagine a British Catholic with a picture of Elizabeth I and Thomas More in his living room?
I know the country well,speak the language, am married to a Russian who is Catholic. The news from Russia is not the version presented by western patriots such as Scott Ritter, Douglas McGregor, Alex Jones and the rest of them. And when these disinformation agents visit russia, Walter Duranty like, they provide the version that most satisfies their western patriot listeners. However Russian patriots like Igor Strelkov, Alina Lushavina and Svetlana Lada-Rus are in jail for pointing out how Russia is a not independent, but a useful idiot in rolling out the Chabad Lubovich messianic program.
As Matthew said, it's far better to stay where you are. At least in the USA, there are any number of places you can move to where you will feel at home.
Incidently Russia is at the forefront of biometric surveillance.
