Orthodox Priest Suspended for Attending Jan 6 Trump Rally

Details.

For the record, I haven't seen any suggestion he was part of the violent attack on Congress that followed. 

Update: The diocese is now claiming that the suspension is for other, undisclosed, reasons. 

Details.

The priest should have been at his church celebrating the Feast of Theophany on that day!

Agreed. I think that it is proper for clergy to go to the streets to advocate for mercy or justice, but not to advocate for a particular party.

He should have blessed the protesters, then left to celebrate the Feast of Theophany!

I agree. Instead, he marches side by side with a nutcase Mormon dressed up like a Roman gladiator.
Don't get me wrong . I agree with much of what Fr. Mark stands for. But being in church, celebrating Our Lord being baptized is more important than a rally.
