Our Catholic readers should say extra hard their traditional prayers for the conversion of Russia, since American foreign policy is now based on the assumption that it has already occurred.
Oh, how they’re crowing: This is the same Ronald Reagan who “once called the Soviet Union an ‘evil empire’!” At the same time, they’re hailing Mikhail Gorbachev as the man who has “transformed” the Soviet Union. Transformed it from what? From an evil empire? If so, then didn’t Reagan use to be right? If not, what’s Gorbachev getting credit for? Gilding the lily?
