Canada Needs an Adult!

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?

"The fact that other organizations are getting less press for their terrible crimes says that we're being too soft on them..."

Excellent. Now if you examine the previous comments by [livejournal.com profile] underlankers and myself, you'll find an explanation for this fact.

Like I said, I think that's part of it. The other part is that the RCC is bigger, population-wise, than any other single church in the US. If there was a crime spree against blondes, we'd probably hear about it before the crime spree against albino left-handed women.
