The Roles Reversed: Orthodox Russia versus the Godless Politically 'Correct' West


When I was a child in the early 1970s, my mother used to tell me about the Soviet Union repressing religious practice.  This was done to motivate me to go to (Catholic) Mass on a Sunday.  Now, some 40 years later, like Vladimir Putin and Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill have recently said, it is now the politically 'correct' West that represses traditional Christian religious and moral practice.

 Really love the beautiful music from the Orthodox Liturgy from St. Petersburg above.  Spent quite some time on Friday night reading American website accounts that were sadly being forced to admit that now the roles have been reversed:  Christianity is being somewhat advocated and preserved in Russia, while the Western world is now almost a 'godless kingdom' due to political 'correctness', a zealous multiculturalist ideology that disenchants people through reducing all phenomena to baseline issues of race and sex ('gender').
