That's right ----
A severance package. To take care of hard working priests who find themselves out of
work and starving due to uncaring laity or hierarchs. (St. John's in Fort Wayne has had 9 priests in 25 years).
That is what this whole thing is about. Pride and lust of power on the part of hierarchs who should be leading
the flock in demonstrating Christian love and humility.
Instead, they are starving an innocent, pious priest, and will try to find an excuse to laicize him.
This kind of activity brings nothing but SHAME to American Orthodoxy.
The Orthodox Christians of this country expect more from their brothers and hierarchs. Parish councils, priests
and hierarchs must be held accountable for their actions.
We know men by their fruits; let the whole world see their works.
Lord have mercy on us all.
