Luchashenko makes a humanitarian gesture and the BBC and EU hate on him,

Seems they would prefer it if more Syrians died making the more dangerous and longer sea crossing.

Trump's wall bad.  EU's wall good.

It seems really juvenile to me, kinda like how Trump threw up his hands at the border crisis and said "Fine, I'll send them to Democrat cities! That's what they want!". Meanwhile, the flow of illegal immigration gets worse and citizens suffer due to the childish games that politicians play.

If attending Mass, the ordinary form as celebrated everyday around the world be sinful, then the Church no longer exists. Period.
Rather, if the NOM were the lex credendi of the Church, then the Church would no longer exist. However, the true mass and the true sacraments still exist and will hold the candle of faith until Our Lord steps in to restore His Bride to her glory.
We could compare ourselves to the Catholics in England at the time of the Reformation. Was it sinful for them to attend Cranmer's service?
We have to remind ourselves that all the machinery of the "Church" continued in place. They had priests, bishops, churches, cathedrals. But all of them were using the new "Book of Common Prayer" instead of the Catholic Mass. Ordinary lay people could see with their own eyes an enormous entity that called itself the "Church," but did the true Church still exist in that situation? Meanwhile, in small hiding places in certain homes were a handful of true priests offering the true Mass at the risk of imprisonment, torture and death.

I've obviously mentioned Russia before, but my wife and I are taking a long hard look at Belarus too.

They'll let me in with whatever papers Russia will let me in with.

There's more Catholicism.

They're pro-crypto (something I invest in).

Minsk is an equally far drive from my MILs dacha as Moscow is.

And I quite like every Belarussian I've ever met.

And I really do love Lukashenko. He's solid.

Very clean country from the videos I have seen. Minsk always looks neat as a pin.

Before the recent sanctions, I did a ton of work there (remotely, not physically in-country). They were a joy to work with. My wife LOVES Minsk, and her best friend is from there..so there's that...
