"...Francis’ invocation of the Mongol Empire struck me as even more “unhappy” than his foray into Russian history."

I find it odd that he focused on political, rather than Christian, history in both instances.

Seems like the history of the Church in those countries should be more inspiring. After all our identity is in Christ, not so much whether the country we lived in once had an empire.

Christianity actually has a long history in Mongolia. There is a decent article on Wikipedia for those interested.

"State troopers are watching you" - one wonders if this perhaps is spoken from recent experience, not mere speculation. Hmm.

Happy Anniversary to you & your bride!
