“The Eastern Orthodox Church (Eastern Catholic), does not have a Pedophile problem. You know why? Priests are all married!”

1) Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic are two DIFFERENT sets of Churches.

2) They have a pedophile and ephebophilia problem too as my post with links elsewhere in the thread shows.

3) Not all of their priests are married.

You really can’t get much of anything right.

In regards to the Eastern Rite Catholics/Orthodox priests, they are allowed to get married BUT it has to be done before entering the seminary, before becoming a priest. Once ordained, they cannot marry. Any bishops appointed have to come from the monastic communities.
