Unconnected...
A Roman Catholic priest friend of ours joined us for supper last night. He spoke of a frequent phenomenon he encounters in Belgium: of Catholics who maintain a deep spiritual life (prayer, bible…) but with relatively little interface with the organized church, with which they feel uncomfortable and unable to connect. Is this a specifically Roman Catholic phenomenon….?

Dare I suggest that the time of the persecution may, very paradoxically, have given a certain freedom to this type.
Without rereading his book (which I read 10 years ago), I wonder whether people like Sergei Fudel would ever have got where he did spiritually if he had had regular church services available every Saturday, Sunday and feat day.

Фуделя я практически не читал, а стоило бы, думаю.
