Catholic vs. Russian Orthodox[edit]

There are some fairly interesting differences between the actual case and The Fixer. One of the more significant is that the religious "expert" was a catholic priest in the Beilis case whereas The Fixer has him being Russian Orthodox; in reality, no Russian Orthodox priests were willing to lend support to the idea of ritual murder.--Jrm2007 05:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the priest in the book is a former catholic, so Malamud nods to fact somewhat.--Jrm2007 (talk) 01:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
