As it is, in the Orthodox Church, their souls will continue to receive sacraments

What good is it for someone mired in serious sin to receive the sacraments?

Rod clearly has some major issues with taking scandal and other serious sins.

"Rod clearly has some major issues with taking scandal and other serious sins."

Good thing for him that The Church is a hospital for sick souls.

I would like to ask you for more insight about the sin of taking--- as distinguished from giving --- scandal. I may be susceptible to "taking scandal"; how can I avoid this sin, and help others similarly vulnerable (e.g. a friend like Rod Dreher?)
