How far is Krakow?

55 minute connecting flight

@TheImperator so my doctor had no idea what I was talking about regarding the black mold

So he didn't find anything wrong?

@TOES (SURPLUS BINGUS) From Vienna go to the Melk Benedictine Abbey. It's only about 1 hour and 30 minutes (depending on the connection). I would skip Moldova although it is the poorest and thus one of the cheapest of the countries in Europe.

Go to transistria xD

Probably a very interesting experience. Actually being interrogated by some KGB agents has it's charm i suppose

Ikr?

Just wear a picture of Stalin on your T-shirt

And unironically call everyone "comrade"

Would sort of work, i think. Altough saying that you like Putin would also do the job.

Oh and be sure to speak Moldovan not Romanian ;)

With some extra Russian words for good measure

That's actually sort of retared as Moldovian is literally Romanian in Cyrillic. Moldovans are just Romanians in denial. Just like they are actually Latins in denial.

Yeah

I'm well aware

Though Romanians are very distinct from other Latins today

They are Romance speakers just like a whole part of Europe.

I used to have a really good Moldovan friend. He had a very hard time trying to be Moldovan and not Romanian

Being Moldovan just means being Russia nized

Really

The distinction is artificial. True, the Russian influence is and was much greater there than in Romania proper

There's nothing unique about it. It's just a creole of Romanian with a Russian twist

Yeah, Moldova was part of the empire. Walchia and such were not

You know that if Boris I of Bulgaria wasn't a pussy and said no to the wanted expulsion of Latin missionaries by the Byzantine Emperor, the Romanian people (or Vlachs) would be Catholic. Also the Bulgarians messed up a lot for them afterwards.

As Boris I specifically wanted missionaries from Rome

Many of them ended up Greek Catholics anyway

In Romania

Their heart is with Rome

:)

The soviets got rid of most of them though

True but the inherent Byzantine Rite is sort of not fitting for them as the ROC (Romanian Orthodox Church) is the only Romance speaking Orthodox Church. That should somehow ring a bell that something is not alright. The Roman rite (which was is and will ever be in Latin) is much more appropriate.

I suppose.

Sadly we can't change history anymore

Nope

What done is done

Although the Romanian state and the ROC are literally destroying Romanian Catholic churches.

Or at least taking them from Catholic hands

That's because most of the catholics in Romania are hungarians

I am aware of that but i am strictly speaking about the Greek Catholics
