Ukraine Moves to Ban Russian Orthodox Church

<p>This week, Eric Kohn, Dan Hugger, and Dylan Pahman discuss the move by Ukraine’s government to prevent churches affiliated with Moscow from operating in Ukraine. How dangerous is this? And why is trying to determine what constitutes a legitimate religion always problematic? Then the guys turn their attention to the protests in China and the delay of Jimmy Lai’s National Security Law trial in Hong Kong. How big of a threat to the Chinese Communist Party are these protests? And why should we focus more on marginal improvements in places like China and Hong Kong than on big revolutionary changes? Finally, they take stock of Kanye West’s public meltdown and his promotion of anti-Semitic ideology.</p><br><p><a href="http://acton.org/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe to our podcasts</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/12/02/world/russia-ukraine-war-news?fbclid=IwAR0i5BwJdys0ZT-UsXGmhBzDhqKnPClWo67cOvwDDepGzejUVK2jWPDJ9oU#zelensky-proposes-banning-religious-groups-affiliated-with-moscow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zelensky proposes preventing Orthodox churches ‘affiliated’ with Moscow from operating in Ukraine | New York Times</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2022/02/religion-versus-tribalism-joseph-pearce.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Man, Religion, and Tribalism | Joseph Pearce, The Imaginative Conservative</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/protests-china-covid-lockdowns" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Protests in China are about much more than COVID lockdowns | Rev.
