Seems a bishop in the Orthodox church has been charged with molesting kids. Given how this sort of scandal has hurt the Catholic Church in recent years do you think the Orthodox church will react in a more open fashion or could we be looking at the tip of the iceberg in a similar but whole new scandal?

Date: 29/11/10 02:30 (UTC)However, if they treat this one the same way the Catholic church did, then yes it could in fact hurt them. The way its already out in the open though makes me doubt that's going to happen. They'd have to be drooling morons.
The fact he's already been in police custody points the other direction though. It might hurt them more than such a thing normally would because of the similarities with how the Catholic Church handled it, but I also think because of how everyone saw that play out they'll be a lot smarter about handling it.
So I say no, it's not going to hurt them very much.
