Who Is the Man Who Fears We Could Be on the Eve of 'World War III'?: Hardly any Americans will know of Hilarion Alfeyev, 48, a Russian Orthodox bishop who acts as the "foreign minister" of his Church, but it is important that they do. He is a bridge between not just the Orthodox Church and Catholicism but a bridge between Russia and America.
As a Catholic American, I first saw him 15 years ago on a cold December day in Moscow. Hilarion, then 33, was already a rising star in the firmament of the Russian Orthodox Church.
He had done his graduate studies in philosophy at Oxford — rather rare for Russian Orthodox Church leaders.
