Pope was asked if he ever doubted Catholicism and he mentioned Dostoevsky’s chapter “the grand inquisitor” in brothers karamazov
It’s a beautifully written book. The variations on Russian names makes it tough sledding for westerners, like every Russian novel I’ve read.

A Russian guy who thinks that the Russian religion was the one true religion. Truly an ubiased opinion!
This is the equivalent of Jim Bob from Small Town, Arkansas, USA, believing that 1st Baptist Church in Small Town, Arkansas, is the one true religion.
No it’s not. Dostoevsky conducts one of the most profound examinations of faith in general, and exegesis of his position, in all of history. this is not at all like your Jim Bob. Of course, it comes down to faith, and faith is often rooted in one’s culture.

A tad disingenuous though coming from a defender of the the Russian orthodoxy, a pillar of the Tsars that shifted into a KGB asset. He argues that Rome gave into the third temptation while being a member of the preeminent example of a state church. It is a perverse irony.
He hated Catholics because he associated Catholicism with Poland. He beat up the Roman Church because of his own bigotry, and he gave the Russian church a pass because of he was virulent nationalist.

Fyodor Dostoevsky viewed Roman Catholicism as a tragic distortion of true Christianity.
Meh. All Christian denominations distort Christianity in one way or another. You cannot find two Christians on this planet who 100% agree on all tenets of faith.
It's best to let God speak on these things and that be enough.

Religion is superstition, whether true or not.
