So I finally, I was, you know, watching this entire series, hoping they would get to that point, and they finally did.

But this is what was going on.

So there's another level to this, right?

The Orthodox churches were nationalist churches, mostly behind the Iron Curtain.

Russian Orthodox Church, right?

All the churches in Eastern Europe and Central Europe, these were all behind the Iron Curtain, but they were Christian churches, right?

So they were compromised.

The Ukrainian Church, a very big church in the United States, compromised because of the Communist Association.

So they're trying to divide themselves

away from the Soviet stuff going on back in the Soviet Union.

But they're always under suspicion.

The Russian Orthodox is the same way.

There were at least three different Orthodox groups in the United States.

One was Tsarist, which was violently anti-communist.

One was the church from Moscow, which was riddled through with agents.

And one was kind of an American crossbreed, which was trying to stay aloof from both sides.

So it was very political in those days.

We don't appreciate that now, but it was extremely political.

The church stuff was very political.

And the Soviet Union was manipulating the Orthodox Church as much as they could to move agents into the United States.
