We are witnessing unbelievable process in Georgia right now. Georgian Orthodox Church which is the dominant religious organization in the country with huge political influence and millions of money, businesses/properties is wrapped up in huge scandal. Several high position priests are publicly declaring that the patriarch of Georgia is homosexual.

Ilia II has been the patriarch for 42 years already. He is now 86 years old and has been worshiped by the majority of the society. He is like a saint for Georgians even though he is still alive. And now šŸ“·šŸ˜€ this is happening.

Karma is a bitch. Christian values such as love, kindness, acceptance, forgiveness are long-forgotten in the church. Over the years they have been busy with attacking minorities, especially LGBTQ community even physically, spreading hate, threatening democracy and going against any progress. Now their system is shaking and I'm hoping it will be destroyed soon.

Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.

It's extremely difficult to make most churches collapse. Particularly orthodox churches.
Case in point, the catholic church.
People have been trying to hold the rcc accountable for their MANY offenses for decades.

Toppling corruption within religion takes a long time. Just have to keep chipping away at the foundations.

It must be the other Georgia because Iā€™m from Georgia and have no idea who this guy is.

Not everything is in America.

The worlds churches will probably not die, if you have a useful name and some cultural value someone will always take it on. In all probability the worlds churches will reinvent themselves again, as they often have, probably this time as organized crime.

I only have enough attention to pay attention to one Georgia at a time.
