There are both a Russian Orthodox Church and a Russian Catholic Church; they are very different. I believe the American terms would be Eastern Orthodox (of which there are more than one) and Catholic. Do we know which this is for?

The smaller keyboard and use of voice recognition may increase my incoherence. Apologies. Feel free to ask for clarification of my word choices.

Hello Mark,

The Russian Orthodox Church and Vatican went different paths quite long ago (few hundred years),
so Russian word for Catholic represents ideas of Vatican, and If you have not plans
to insult representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate, do not congratulate them with the TLD.

Sincerely Yours,
