Story was 11 years ago. Today it is thriving more than ever. I only hope the Catholic Church's which were abandoned during the communist time will start to fill up again. With more conversions in Russia and more Catholics moving to Russia. Someone tried to say there is only one Catholic Church in all of Russia. There are seven of them. Some are closed as I mentioned above. Also said, that Russians no longer have any Icons of The Blessed Mother in Their homes. They not only have them in their homes but in their wallets and purses and on the battlefield and on Military bases and most especially at their nuclear plants. We were told there are no processions allowed in Russia. I not only seen it I posted it right here on gtv. Right on Red Square in front of The Kremlin of all places!
The list goes on with all the lies and propaganda to hate Russia and Putin! They won't succeed because GOD is showing us all the truth. And it will all be revealed. As it has been.
I hope this Priest is made a Saint by The Catholic Church. Enduring so much and always keeping the Faith and helping others as well.
@Faith Hope Charity I can't wait for that day to happen. Everyone believing and knowing the Truth. No more confusion or fighting over this and that. True peace comes with Truth which is our Faith!
Yes what a beautiful grace to die any feast day of the Theotokos!
May she have complete authority of our lives!
