Archbishop Anthony of Yaransk and Vyatka (1924-2008), Catacomb Bishop

I’m sorry I missed this, folks. This was truly sad; I had only met catacomb Archbishop Anthony once, and his demeanor indicated someone of great wisdom that can only be learned in the persecuted Church. Memory Eternal! -J.S., NFTU
