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?

But bishops and above are to be celibate if I remember right....

that would not make much sense, because everyone starts as a priest and then grows in ranks

or maybe they would have to suddenly divorce and stop fucking, I don't know, ask Google :)

No, the bishops are drawn from monks (who are celibate), not from priests (who often are not celibate).

okay, thank you for the lesson :)
