![Solovyov](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ea/fd/eafdb338-c9b6-4f87-8363-78ab94cc3a18/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Solovyov.jpg)

Wow, a Solovyov sighting: "[Vladimir Soloviev, the Mystic Admired by Popes](http://m.ncregister.com/blog/joseph-pronechen/soloviev-the-mystic-admired-by-popes?ref=thedailyeudemon.com#.WLdcp28rLIV)."

Those are about as common as, say, Max Beerbohm or Orestes Brownson sightings. The piece is a bit choppy, but not too bad. Excerpt:

> “Repeatedly, Soloviev pointed out once the Russian Church abandoned the jurisdiction of Rome it had inevitably fallen under the control of the government,” Father Ryland noted. “That, he said, is the fate of all purely national churches.” Soloviev believed the only way to avoid being subject to the state was for the national church to have unity with Rome.

> Father Ryland clarified, “In the East, said Soloviev, there are only isolated national churches. Only if they return to the divinely appointed center of unity can they be truly catholic.”

> Soloviev insisted the real issue with regard to Rome was the anti-Catholic Eastern apologists dealing mostly in the negative. The sticking point was the pope.

> “Soloviev would agree with those Eastern Orthodox theologians who concede that the underlying issue between themselves and Rome is the issue of authority,” said Father Ryland.

It prompted me to take my copy of *Divine Humanity* off the bookshelf. It looks like I got about a third of the way through it before getting distracted. I remember thinking it was pretty opaque . . . but what Russian artists aren't?
