I would like to know if Putin had a spiritual contact in some way to be so firm on the issues of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, porn and immoralities and etc. Does anyone know? Then the news stated that the "pope" will be visiting Putin, is this so? Maybe Putin could tell him a thing or two!
Earlier this year, the Western media went INSANE when Putin said (paraphrasing, but I've got the links somewhere) that the Church (Russian Orthodox, I'm sure) was a big part of Russia's legacy before the fall, and not only should they return to that, but the Church should have a say in the governing of Russian people. He was photographed around various parishes and promised state aide to the parishes (cathedrals? Whatever ROs call them). Ever since, Putin's been photographed with the RO Patriarch (I think) Krillen. Months later, into this year, he announced getting a divorce, but no reasons were given why. Of course, Orthodox allow such things, but Putin seemed to be sticking with the RO pretty hard-core.
According to this
recent (Sept) American Thinker article,(anti-Obama pro-West), if you search Google for
images of Putin + Patriarch, you get 360,000 hits including shots of Putin kissing the Patriarch's ring, etc. (American Thinker calls him "Tsar Putin" and thinks he wants to be the leader of the RO Church and start WW3; but most of their Putin article is about slamming Obama.) So it appears he is in pretty frequent contact with the Patriarch.
(I know you know all this; I just love the repeating of it)
Of course, our media wanted Putin lynched for such things, especially after he came down hard on the Sodomites, and bands even
promoting a Sodomite lifestyle, and minority religions such as Islam (told them to shut up or get out and THAT'S "Russian tolerance", and they're lucky to get that). News talk shows have since stressed the importance of "separation of Church and state" and how Putin was going to make Russia (**crosses self**) into a theocracy and RETURN TO THEIR CENTURIES OLD FAITH.
:cry: :applause:
Oh, and Putin said the West could KEEP our nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr crap out of Russia; Russians were going to retain their identity and try to reconstruct their heritage and be a holy people. (Well, he may not have said holy; maybe it was "a godly people".)
Not sure Frank will try to visit Putin, because Putin isn't going to hear much of this "ecuмenism" fairy talk from Frank. Putin's already had a field day with Obama —though I think there's a darker power around Frank.
According to Frank, anyway. Frank said a dark power descended upon him in the conclave, and he never said this darkness left, either. (But maybe he did and it just wasn't translated properly yet.) So if Frank and his
henchman clergy were to visit Putin, I would pray incessantly for Putin's protection from the clown representatives of Rome.
But I don't think Frank will go. Russian Orthodox may be schismatic, but I don't think they'd keen too well to Frank's sissy no-corpus crucifixes with red hearts sprinkled on them, much less that bent ...
thing Frank dug out from storage. There would have to be ground rules for Frank, and Frank, a free-wheeling "spirit", doesn't much like rules. Frank would have very bad day :D
