It’s said that you can gauge a man by the company that he keeps… let’s see… Paffhausen hangs out with Mormons, flaky Episkies (especially the loud “conservative” element of the TEC), former wacko cultists, and “teabaggers”. What does that tell you? I know what it tells me…

As for Patriarch Kirill… he doesn’t keep company with American lickspittles, that’s for certain! On top of that, he condemns fat cat capitalists (and, by implication, their Tea Party running dog lackeys). Good on Kirill Mikhailovich!
