@BremenBod Russian Orthodoxy doesn't have a monopoly on infernal hypocrisy, Ross. What, for example, makes you imagine the American Catholic Church isn't already fully bought into the use of nuclear weapons, at the highest levels? Ultimately, we could all live or die by a Catholic choice.

Copy of tweet here: Archbishop Broglio says he hopes the Pope and he will laugh about the claim he's “anti-Francis” when they meet. I am sure Francis will be magnanimous when he sees Broglio, but it's unlikely he’s forgotten the back story & connections of the new leader of the US Bishops. ENDS Laugh? The spiritual derangement of good religious war pimps (Broglio heads the U.S. Archdiocese for the Military Services) consecrating the devastating obscenity of a global militarist matrix? Pitiful absurdity, meriting not a single reference, anywhere? Now *that's* laughable.
@shalt_not_kill Thank you for the clarification. I suspect a larger concern relates to Patriarch Krill's advice to Putin "to take fateful, formidable decisions" that "involve victims", precisely at the moment the prospect of a NATO-nuclear encounter takes on sudden, powerful, escalatory impetus.
