I cannot help but agree with this passing assessment of things Russian, given by Bishop Bernard Fellay, SSPX, in an interview with Brian Mershon:
[Question:] Ever since Pope Benedict was elected and the new Russian Orthodox Patriarch was since chosen, there is an obvious mutual thaw in relations for the better. The Russian Orthodox Patriarch even published a book of the Pope’s writings to disseminate to his lay faithful!
How do you read this? Is this related to the Third Secret of Fatima?
[Answer:] I personally believe there is something on the move in Russia. There definitely does seem to be something moving in Russia. There is something in the air.
How far and how deep? I do not know.
But, there are many things that show there is a revival of religion in Russia.
Perhaps it is a prelude to the fulfillment of Our Lady of Fatima’s requests and prophesies, for the Mother of God did say that Russia would convert to Catholicism. Saviour of the world, save Russia!
