state-aligned church

Russian Orthodox Church / Moscow Patriarchate @ 2022

The Moscow Patriarchate at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, when church leadership gave religious framing to state war power. It scores as malignant because national-religious authority, state alignment, war legitimation, and identity capture fused into coercive public power.

Why this matters: This is a present-era calibration point for religious authority backing state violence.
