12 February 2017. The Church Is NOT Rightwing… Konvertsy Rants to the Contrary Notwithstanding

_________________________________________

Rod Dreher (and those of his ideological deformation) claim that the Church and the rightwing are soulmates… natural allies. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Look at the above image and be enlightened. The Church does NOT endorse, teach, or bless the evil spouted by Anglosphere “conservatives”. In particular, it condemns the Free Market that’s at the very centre of “conservative” “thought”. You may follow Archbishop Iakovos Koukouzis or you may follow Pat Buchanan, the author of the racist “Southern Strategy” and the arranger of Reagan’s visit to Bitburg (with its SS graves). Rod Dreher follows Pat Buchanan (and takes Buchanan’s money)… I follow Archbishop Iakovos.

Whom do you follow? You can’t follow both… they’re incompatible. Choose wisely…

Long Island Church Sued for Allowing Sexual Assault of 4-Year-Old by Priest’s Perv Teenage Son

______________________________

A lawsuit filed Friday in Manhattan alleges that last year, a 4-year-old Long Island boy was sexually assaulted by the former parish priest’s teenage son on the grounds of a Greek Orthodox Church as the little boy’s 6-year-old sister watched in horror. The victims’ parents say the attack took place in May 2015 after Sunday services at Holy Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church in Brookville NY. To protect the identities of the children, the Daily News isn’t naming the parents. In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the parents say that while they chatted with the parish priest, the priest’s son, then a teenager, sodomised, fondled, and ejaculated on their half-naked son as his sister “helpless observed”. Immediately afterward, when the boy returned to his parents wearing no underwear and with his pants unbuttoned and the zipper down, his father asked him what happened. The suit says that the boy told him that the teenager had taken off his pants in a secluded area on church grounds.

According to the filing, the priest reacted by saying, “I know what’s going on and what happened”. The papers say the priest then “slammed his fists on the table … and uttered words to the effect: ‘I’m gonna kill him’”. The lawsuit says the priest and the child’s father found the teenager cowering in a closet. The priest said, according to the filing, “This won’t happen again. You’re finished. You’re going to be arrested this time. The priest then told the victim’s father that he’d called the police and stated, ‘This has happened before and he has to learn’”. The parents accuse the church of knowing about the teenager’s behaviour and failing to protect the parish children by keeping him away or warning parents of the danger. Demanding 10 million USD in damages for each child, they say their children are now fearful about their safety, losing sleep, depressed, and otherwise scarred. It is unclear from court papers if police pressed charges on the teenager, who is identified by initials. The News is withholding the priest’s name to protect the son’s identity because he, too, is a minor. There was no response from the spokesman for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America or Archbishop Demetrios Trakatellis, who also were named as defendants in the lawsuit.

Betcha that the GOAA will try to lay a big hunk of cash on the plaintiffs in an attempt to make this “go away”. The Greeks have used the Green Poultice in the past… that and social ostracism may very well bury this.

Greek Orthodox Priest Forced To Resign Because Of “Cake Porn” Sex Tapes

______________________________

A staunchly conservative high-ranking Greek Orthodox priest at a Manhattan church has been suspended and forced to resign after evidence of a longtime affair with a parishioner he once called his “god-daughter” came out. The Post has the exposé on Fr George Passias, the married 67-year-old former pastor of St Spyridon Church in Washington Heights, who they say impregnated his longtime lover and parish-school principal Ethel Bouzalas. In addition, Passias has been accused of misusing church funds, as documented both by the Post and NY Magazine. The Post levied these accusations at Passias in 2013… he denied everything at the time, telling them, “They’ve been saying I’m having a private affair with her. She’s a goddaughter to me. That’s it”. Steve Papadatos, the Parish Council President, told The National Herald at the time that the allegations against Passias were “lies”, blasting the tabloid for publishing a story “replete with slander”.

However, it seems a series of “shocking” sex tapes leaked to church officials have ended Passias’ career. The Post reviewed the tapes, which apparently involved “cake porn”. In one scene, the bearded cleric, wearing only a white T-shirt, watches his longhaired brunette lover plant her thong-clad bottom on a piece of banana bread wrapped in cellophane. Bouzalas, wearing stiletto heels, oddly wiggles on the loaf until it is flattened… apparently, a fetish known as “cake crush” or “cake sitting”. In another video clip, the pretty Peruvian rubs her feet on the priest’s face as they lie under a mirrored ceiling and she records his ecstasy at the encounter. In another tape, the priest performs oral sex on his lover while she is still clad in sheer pantyhose.

The videos, along with an email from Bouzalas’ husband to Bishop Andonios Paropoulos (the chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Church in the USA), was enough for the church to suspend him. Passias officially gave his goodbye to his St Spyridon parish in an email last week, saying he was leaving for “personal and health reasons”, and confessing to “multitudinous sins and shortcomings. I’ll now fade out of this world for a considerable time according to God’s will. He has chosen for me… that I should retire and follow the way of silence, prayer, fasting, and ­utter devotion to our Lord… Please, don’t ask where I’m going and where I’ll be. Then, it wouldn’t be possible for me to fulfil what is my lot”. Passias also served as the Chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America in the late 1990s, which made him the most powerful member of all of that group’s American priests.

This is a “third-rail” story… as it’s a sexual perversion item from the secretive and sometimes odd Ephramite group. Trust me… my Cabinet is divided on this… both pro and con… both very vehement. Therefore, ANYTHING that I say shall probably piss off one or the other camp (or both!)… however… I feel that the truth must come out. Firstly, I’ve not heard anything nasty on Elder Ephraim himself… but he has followers who I wouldn’t trust in any situation. Some of his followers teach that the laity owe ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE to the point of sycophancy and obsequiousness to clergy, and that nothing that an elder commands can be disobeyed. I’m not making this shit up. It’s not Orthodox in the least.

How did this happen? I think that Elder Ephraim founded too many monastic houses at once… or, rather, the EP did so. Instead of having grounded people to head the houses, bad eggs crept in due to the hasty foundation of many of these institutions (normally, a mother house would exist for a generation before spinning off daughter houses… here, it was only a matter of years). To be frank, I’m suspicious of “Hyperdox”… just as I’m suspicious of Konvertadox, Evangelodox, and Angliochians. I fear that this will lead to another CSB/HOOMie or Alaska scandal… with the cultish brainwashed on one side and grounded people on the other. Elders aren’t dictators… they propose… they don’t demand. If an “elder” demands” “obedience”, you’re not dealing with an elder, you’re dealing with a satanic fraud.

I’m certain that this will rile quite a few of my friends. It’s not meant personally, but it’s what I hold. Do bite the coin… we live in evil times and there are many frauds afoot. Take care, the foulest flowers of evil flourish in the shadow of the altar…

15 May 2015. More GOAA Scuttlebutt… Is Metropolitan Isaiah in the Doghouse Too?

______________________________

THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL

I got this from a source:

Yes, I have heard those rumours as well. I also heard that the Archdiocese may remove Metropolitan Isaiah over the problems in Salt Lake City and stories about priests preaching sermons on the aerial toll houses, etc. in parishes of the Denver Metropolis, influenced by Fr Ephraim’s followers.

The buzz ain’t dying down. That doesn’t mean that it’s true, but it does mean that the buzz ain’t dying down. No one can sue me for saying that. In any case, look at the head of this… it’s tentative; I’m reporting what people are saying… not what’s happening. This is the fruit of the secrecy in the Church. When no real news comes out, all sorts of rumour and innuendo result, hell, it’s worse for the Church than the godawful idiocy in the first place. However, if priests are preaching on the Toll Houses, the Church should slap them down HARD. It isn’t a teaching of the Church… it’s NOT a synodically defined doctrine… it’s nothing but a pious opinion that one can take or leave as one wills.

I think it’s time to reiterate what the ROCOR Holy Synod did back in the day. It simply forbade all discussion or publication on the matter. That was WISE, kids. We should follow that, not scum-bum guru “elders” and internet swami bloviators. I say that the ROCOR Holy Synod should reissue its missive and direct it at all the loudmouth asshats out there. Now, that would warm my innards and make me rub my tummy in joy…
