I guess I had not heard about this situation. However, if you have followed the Kennedy family over the years you have learned that they never let Church doctrine get in the way of their personal agenda. They were what are known as 'Cafeteria Catholics' - picking and choosing what they want to believe and follow. They were Catholics in name only.

Is the Russian orthodox church like the American Catholic Church?

Yes, in that they both originated with the Catholic Church, went into schism, while retaining valid Orders and valid sacraments: to that extent they are alike, although the American Catholic Church, which is derived from the Old Catholic Church, a schismatic group that went into schism after the First Vatican Council, is not in communion with the Catholic Church nor the Orthodox Church. The American Catholic Church is in communion with the Anglican Church meaning, when all is said and done, they are yet another protestant church, while the Russian Orthodox remains Catholic to a degree.
