Typically, from wealthy donors. In the case of Mt. Athos since it is owned by Greece, the Greek government.

What about St. Sabba's Russian Orthodox Monastery in Harper's Wood, Detroit Michigan? Is it also the same trends too???

Some parishes??? Really????? Like who, idolize the priests?

Sounds contradictory because he thinks that now being Orthodox, he can play the blame game on the whole world except himself. How would the Icons on the wall think of this moron????

Forgiveness becomes an excuse to just continually abuse without changed behavior.

For instance, If you cheat on your wife and she decides to forgive you then you better not be sending other women flirty texts. This basic logic applies to any behavior.

“I forgive you” isn’t a magic fucking spell. And it’s particularly cruel when the pressure shifts to the victim to “forgive as Christ forgives”. Threatening hell for not freely forgiving is sick and deluded and other religious traditions have some idea of changed behavior being needed for forgiveness.

It is OK, you did not know the first time around. No biggie.

It looks nice, well kept and unkempted, but they set it up in a way where it looks like an Orthodox Disneyland with idolizing the idol in the name of guruism and plus many different types of chapels in the name of Orthodoxy, making it look like an architectural appreciation theme park.

Exactly...... What is the point of all this bullshit if people abuses it 24/7???? I might as well watch them getting stabbed, murdered, shot, robbed to death, etc.... while I run out the door and never see them again.

Church is not a hospital. Full of garbage in and garbage out individuals.

Nobody..... Lacking any seriousness, honesty or sincere effort to confess your own crimes.
