"Another great contribution of the Franks to Orthodoxy and civilization in general was the destruction of the Muslim Arab armies by the Frankish leader Charles Martel at Poitiers in 732. However, Romanides argues that the battle of Poitiers was in fact a suppression of a Gallo-Roman revolution that was supported by Arabs and Numidian Romans!

Romanides’ obsession with proving that the Franks were the root of all western evil even leads him to claim that the French revolution was the final, successful rising of the Gallo-Romans against the Franks!"

from Against Romanides by Vladimir Moss

On June 27, 1953, romanian Greek Catholic bishop and martyr Ioan Suciu passed away in the Sighet prison in order to be with the Lord. His aides in the Legionary Movement tried to save him before his arrest in 1948 by getting him out of the country, but the bishop refused to leave. His books Youth and Heroism urged a heroic Christian life and were recommended to the young members of the Legionary Movement. He wrote to the faithful on October 5, 1948, when the communist authorities launched a campaign to dissolve the Greek Catholic Church and convert her clerics to Eastern Orthodoxy:

"Do not be deceived by committees, by words, by news, by lies, but stand strong, unwavering, steadfast in the faith for which our ancestors and forefathers shed blood. Do not put your name on any paper that requires you to forsake the law of your fathers. They will threaten you, they will beat you, they will take you to trials and before the judges. Do not be afraid, God is with each one of us, and will not let us be tempted and suffer more than we can bear. The world is looking at us, at the believers of the Uniate [Greek-Catholic] Church. We are a sight to the world. Oh, beloved faithful, let us not be a herd of fools, but confessors of the faith, be resolute members of the Church of Jesus in the Romanian Nation... Even if they take away our churches for a while, we will make a church at home, waiting full of hope for the deliverance, which will not be long."

"The Great Leader of our people, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, has passed away. The great power, the social power, in which our people felt their own strength, which guided them in their creative works and enterprises, which they consoled themselves for many years, was abolished. There is no area where the deep gaze of the great Leader does not penetrate... As a man of genius, in every matter he discovered what was invisible and inaccessible to the ordinary mind."

- Patriarch of Moscow and all the Rus' Alexy I

"His death is a heavy grief for our Fatherland and for all the people who inhabit it. The whole Russian Orthodox Church, which will never forget his benevolent attitude to Church needs, feels great sorrow at his death. The bright memory of him will live ineradicably in our hearts. Our Church proclaims eternal memory to him with a special feeling of abiding love."

- Patriarch of Moscow and all the Rus' Alexy I

Never forget how the communist government would threaten us to convert to orthodoxy or die.

And never forget who supported such a government.

“Stalin saved Russia, showed what it means to the world. Therefore, as an Orthodox Christian and Russian patriot, I bow down to Stalin.”

- Luke of Simferopol
