That as the case may be, some of the objections and difficulties being talked about 12 years ago remain - efforts have been made in Russia and Belorussia to stymie efforts of the Catholic Church to take care of Catholics. Given all the challenges facing the Russian people - abortion, rising drug problems, corruption, pornography, prostitution, de-population... The measures taken against the Catholic Church seem at the very least odd. The Catholic Church taking care of its 600,000 faithful in Russia helping them to be good Catholics... well that seems to be the least of the Patriarch's problems in a land where there are now 4M baptists and the Islamic population is rising.

How can the article say that Moscow and Rome have been separated for 1000 years? Since Muscovy was not founded until 1147, only really broke with Rome in 1453, and became a Patriarchate in 1589.
