Yes, George Stephanopolis is one of yours. Olympia Dukakis, too? But it’s true one rarely reads about lunatic Orthodox monastics. Perhaps it’s because there are so few in the English-speaking world that they’re just not on the MSM’s radar.

Actually, I think it’s because our monastics tend to fall off the royal road on the right side when they go bad, and become fanatical monarchists, or rigorists who want to apply the canonical penances from The Rudder strictly, or Old Calendarists (meaning not just using the Old Calendar, but holding that any who use the New Calendar are devoid of grace), rather than going modern and secular.
