For anyone who is not an Eastern Orthodox Christian, might as well do something more interesting.  This will all seem rather boring and tawdry.

Metropolitan +Philip needs to learn the first rule of holes.  STOP DIGGING!

Let’s list some of his major screw-ups:

1. Joseph Allen.  A man who shouldn’t be a priest.  He broke every rule in the book, and +Philip broke a lot of good men who pointed that out.
2. Demetri Khouri.  +Philip got his friend mad a bishop.  Demetri then proceeded to get drunk in a casino and sexually assaulted a woman.  Demetri was convicted and is a registered sex offender.   He was allowed to retire by his brother bishops as an act of mercy.  +Philip has apparently kept him on the payroll and assigned him work in Mexico.
3. Trying to demote his brother bishops in the US so he can act like a papal legate.
4. When that didn’t work so well, he arranged or allowed incorrect documents purporting to be from the Holy Synod of Antioch to be spread.
5. He sent a delegation including known criminals to represent him at the meeting of the Holy Synod.
6. He has appointed known criminals including a money-launderer to sit on the Archdiocese Board of Trustees.
7. He refuses to allow the books of the Archdiocese to be open, and refuses for them to be audited.
8. And so many lesser things I cannot keep track of.

One way or another, he won’t be in charge soon.  It’s time for him to retire, preferably to a country without an extradition treaty and give the Archdiocese a rest.

ANAXIOS!  ANAXIOS!  ANAXIOS!
