The Russian Church has many times blessed the people to take part in the war of liberation. So, in 1380, St. Sergius, hegumen and wonderworker of Radonezh, blessed the Russian army, led by the holy noble prince Dimitry Donskoy, for the battle with the Tatar-Mongol conquerors.

Whether the Roman church is that holy universal church: No, said Jan Huss 1411

If Jesus is Christ then purgatorial washing, souls`day, celebrating dead body is stupidity
Therefore, in reality, every believer is already completely holy in God's sight as a result of the Savior's sacrifice on the cross 2000 years ago. This complete cleansing flows from the miracle of the cross. (1 Peter 2:24,25) Thankfully, every Christian is already "seated with Christ in the heavenly realms."
