Trouble in the Greek Archdiocese
This has been floating around for a while on the web and some news outlets.
Can't say I am honestly shocked. There have been rumors for years of
dodgy financial activity in the Greek Archdiocese. Back in the 2000's
the OCA went through its own reckoning over shady bookkeeping and
misappropriation of funds. Eventually the Holy Synod manned up and
cleaned house. There was a lot of hurt and damaged trust. More than a few
high ranking clergy wound up with egg on their face. The Metropolitan
was packed off to a monastery in PA and the Chancellor was deposed from
the clerical rank. The last I heard he had been excommunicated for
refusing to accept the sanction.
