Bishops often have, at most, a small group of trusted advisors to whom they listen. Sometimes only a chancellor playing the role of “gatekeeper.” When mistakes are made, they are rarely acknowledged and repented of. The goal is to just quietly “move on.”

His Eminence Metropolitan Ambrosios also said in his article, “Wherever there is Orthodoxy there are wounds.” That is true all over the globe. But despite those wounds, most of the hierarchy simply goes on with business as usual.
