That's why word association is a dangerous game when you take it too seriously. As I recall, and a few minutes on Google confirm, Rasputin never held any position of responsibility within the Church, never received a single title or honor from it, and in fact had legendary clashes with its hierarchy. He's objectively less representative of Russian Orthodoxy than Dorothy Day, who's at least in the canonization pipeline, is of Roman Catholicism. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað."
