Apparently he was misunderstood. David Virtue reports: VirtueOnline - News - Viewpoints - GAFCON And LAMBETH Vie For Bishops...Long Island Parish Loses...More...: "OOPS. Mikhail Gorbachev Dispels 'Closet Christian' Rumors; Says He is Atheist. VOL ran a story saying that the former Soviet leader had converted to Christianity. Not true. Gorbachev made clear this past weekend that he is an atheist after European news agencies last week claimed that he had confirmed his Christian faith during a visit to the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi in Italy. 'Over the last few days, some media have been disseminating fantasies - I can't use any other word - about my secret Catholicism, citing my visit to the Sacro Convento friary, where the remains of St. Francis of Assisi lie,' Gorbachev said, according to an Interfax article posted Friday. 'To sum up and avoid any misunderstandings, let me say that I have been and remain an atheist.'"
