History / History of Europe and the Next Russian Grand Idea [49]
I dunno....western conservatives are mainly catholic, or protestants....this alone makes it difficult for them to admire the russian orthodox tradition.
That is btw. the same reason why they rarely fall over themselves to follow all these USian new ways of christian thought.
Europe had its own experiences with religious civil wars, of the worst kind at that....and it formed Europe/the West even deep into the on the surface atheist societies, even today. It made us different!
