First
in the [u]nited States, where Evangelicals are very exuberant over the Supreme
Court’s ruling in Trinity Lutheran Church
v Comer. What does this ruling mean? That religious schools can now have (let the excitement
build a little) . . . shredded tires on their playgrounds at State expense. Somehow, this passes for a ‘huge victory’:
Meanwhile,
in Russia, over one million people have come to venerate and pray before the
holy, Grace-bearing relics of St Nicholas the Wonderworker of Myra since they
came to Moscow:
A total of 1,021,500
people have paid their respects to the holy remains, according to data
published Saturday on an official website for the relics.
The queue to see the
fragments of the saint’s bones on display has regularly extended several
kilometers from Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior since the May 23
beginning of public viewings.
The huge turnout
underlines the important of the Orthodox Church and the defining role religion
plays for many Russians a quarter-century after the collapse of the officially
atheist Soviet Union.

Which
do you want, Southron? The ‘constitutional
values’ of Exceptional, Indispensable America or a true Christian culture based
on the unchanging Faith of the Orthodox Church?

Holy
Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð!
Anathema
to the Union!
