A lot were going Catholic for a while, but they've figured out the pope is too woke for them.

I wonder if there's also a racism component. If you're in an American city with a variety of immigrant cultures, your local Orthodox churches are probably going to be more monochromatic than your local Catholic church.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that, but that would make a lot of sense

i seriously doubt that they would like the "chroma" of the average monochromatic Antiochian congregation.

hell, many western reactionaries don't even view Russian émigrés as white lenin-dont-laugh any longer.

Don't reactionaries like Russians for being "based and trad"? I thought it was the woke libs who hated Russians.

Some but I think that's mostly just something they say to try to troll the libs
