"...and I don't trust what comes out of Poland and Ukraine...."

If only owing to the way Russia has treated Poland and Ukraine the last century, I would trust the latter -- trust Poland and Ukraine. And the persecuted Ukrainian Catholic Church -- around since 1596, just 60 years after the Anglican Church was founded! What hasn't that church community suffered at the hands of the Russians?? Last century, Ukrainian Catholics were arrested, deported, tortured, forced to go underground for decades and, on top of that, had to witness their churches being seized and handed over to the Orthodox Church  (which gladly took possession of Ukrainian Catholic property). There is no merit in that kind of treatment. No persecuted church -- however forgiving today -- should be exempt from remembering their past. Not even the Copts have suffered that much (at the hands of Muslims). No doubt the memory of such crimes still hurts and makes bearing justice and charity so much harder today for Catholics.
