defrocked

An Orthodox priest has claimed that he has been suspended by his diocese for three months and faces a “possible defrocking” after travelling to Washington, DC, to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally prior to the Capitol riots on 6 January.

Reverend Mark Hodges, who is a “supply priest” at Paul the Apostle Orthodox Church in Dayton, Ohio, was “suspended from all priestly functions” from 12 January, according to the website of the Orthodox Church in America’s Diocese of the Midwest.

Mr Hodges told the Dayton Daily News that he travelled to Washington, DC, on 6 January for the “Stop the Steal” rally that was organised by supporters of then president Donald Trump.

Mr Trump spoke to the crowd at the rally, urging them to “walk down to the Capitol” and adding: “You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

1. Hmmm, guess he was just spreading the love of his god and religion. Yep, hatefulness often prevails

with religion.

2. church and state

Hmmm

Keep you religion out of my government, and i'll keep my government out of your religion.

In his priest capacity, his politics are irrelevant. I don't want to hear word one about politics from him.

Tx the churches. Better yet, make them tithe.
