Just across the Bering Sea is our neighbor, Russia! I made my first pilgrimage to Holy Russia in a.D. 2001. I went to pay homage to the martyrs of the XXth century. Russia is the largest country in the world (a sixth of the world's land mass!). Their story is an affecting one. In a.D. 1916, on the eve of revolution, there were 146,000 clergy in Russia. By a.D. 1941, red commies had killed 130,000 of them. Mother Russia will rebuild...join the fun (it's an honour: www.catholic.ru)!
I took this photo of the Catholic Cathedral in Moscow. It survived the wicked persecutions and speaks of the blaring voices of the dead. You know, they say around 140 million persons were killed by the Soviets from 1917 until 1991. They always killed their own and thus had no future.
