Supposedly Eastern Orthodox Catholics. Interesting. Considering that
the Russian Mafia members for the most part are certainly NOT
Catholics. Which is why so many ended up emigrating to Israel, New
York and Toronto.

Eastern Orthodoxy split from Catholicism almost a millennium ago, so
the evil Hollywood leftists seem to have made up a new religion.
Typical.

Given that there are over 8,000 mafiya organisations, I'm sure quite a
few of them are Eastern Orthodox.

Ah...no. Eastern Orthodoxy still claims to be Catholic. Just not
Roman.

Fair enough. I do think we in the West mean the Romans when we talk
about Catholics, but I'm obviously showing my Western roots and offer
my apologies to any Russian readers and RichA.
