Comments on: Homosexual Debate Complicates Relationship between the Orthodox in Russia and Finland https://www.aoiusa.org/the-question-about-homosexuals-is-complicating-relationships-between-the-orthodox-in-russia-and-finland/ A Research and Educational Organization that engages the cultural issues of the day within the Orthodox Christian Tradition Mon, 30 May 2011 18:51:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.3 By: Briton https://www.aoiusa.org/the-question-about-homosexuals-is-complicating-relationships-between-the-orthodox-in-russia-and-finland/#comment-20356 Mon, 30 May 2011 18:51:31 +0000 https://www.aoiusa.org/?p=9928#comment-20356 This “report” is now four years old and it seems to have had very little basis in fact – more likely a case of the Moscow Patriarchate trying to stir up trouble so it could undertake further uncanonical activity and trying to undermine the Orthodox Church in Finland.

The Holy Synod of Moscow cut off their relationships …”.

What then is the reaction to this item in today’s news:


Report blames society for sexually abusive priests

I feel like I did years ago when reading Tobacco industry sponsored studies
showing how smoking was just fine.

Now, did you know that, according to the article: “Sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests in the United States is a “historical problem” that has largely been resolved and that never had any significant correlation with either celibacy or homosexuality,” …and… “incidence of sexual abuse in the priesthood began declining not long after a noticeable rise in the number of gay men entering Catholic seminaries in the 1970s? ”

Shazaam! Alacazam! Presto! Want to get advice about marriage? Ask an RC priest who was a seminarian in the ’70’s. They read many books about it, and know just what to do.

Nevermind the bit that 81% of abuse victims were male and 78% were beyond puberty. Pshaw! Tish-tosh! Just ask a seminarian!
