We need accountability. We need public apologies. We need the worst COVIDIANs removed from office – political office and church office. We need to hear the right people say, “We were wrong, never again!” Only then will even a modicum of trust be restored in the system.

From an Orthodox perspective, we need to remember how much harm COVIDIAN hierarchs, clergy, and laity really caused. Many Orthodox parishes shut down for an extended period of time. Some parishes lost as much as 40% or more of their membership as a result. Among the parishes that stayed open or re-opened during the height of the Pandemic, many reduced attendance, required masks even on toddlers, forbade the kissing of icons, cancelled weddings, cancelled funerals, cancelled baptisms, and forbade priests from caring for the elderly and dying.
