25. Exactly: It's a bunch of Stalin groupies ASKING the Orthodox Church to canonize him
Given how many priests and nuns were sent to the Gulag during Stalin's era, I'm sure that the reaction at the Moscow Patriarchate was "They've got to be kidding!"

Might a bunch of crazy right-wingers nominate Joe McCarthy for canonization in the Roman Catholic church? Sure, it's conceivable. Would the Catholic church actually do it? Naah.
