He very much is and he said (cause I'm reading these to him): "That is so kind of them to say. I try and be an honest and sincere man and I am humbled someone would say that of me." He also said: "I am a big fan of the Eastern Orthodox church and lament the schism of the past that formed our Western and Eastern churches. I actually do not eat on most Mondays and do not eat Wednesdays or Fridays every week (besides for today because my son wanted to take me to a nice place for lunch) in order to commemorate the saints, angels, and the betrayal by Judas Iscariot. I have love for our eastern brothers and their practices."
