   generally you can take out that which is within commas to see the statement   
   straight...   
      
   Psychics and the occult are officially anathema to the Orthodox Church, but   
   deacon Andrei Kuraev [...] say it's not that surprising that some believers   
   put their faith in charlatans.   
      
   so yes, it should be "says" because it is the one person making the   
   statement...
