"I think it is a real tragedy—and I am not talking about a tragedy of Aeschylus, but about something shameful [Trans. note—‘Here, Father John is making a play on the words Aischylos and aischos.’]—that there are not any intellectually compelling Marxists in Greece. Of course, their absence is a windfall for the police, the political Right, and Modern Greek theologians, but it is a misfortune for the pursuit of the truth. Marxism started out with principles taken from experience and ended up where it ended up. From a scholarly point of view, Marxism and Patristic theology share the same foundation, so that if Marxists and Patristic theologians would come together, they would be able to communicate with each other.
'Although it is true that Marxism came into conflict with religion, we need to ask ourselves, with what kind of religion did it come into conflict? It did not come into conflict with revelation, but with religion that is identified with metaphysics...."

Metropolitan Hilarion of the Russian Orthodox Church sexually harassed his 18-year-old cell-attendant. A year later, the young man ran away and told about the clergyman's luxurious property in Europe
A former cell-attendant accused Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev), who was Patriarch Kirill's right-hand man, of sexualized harassment, writes Novaya Gazeta Europe.
In the summer of 2022, Hilarion, who was described as the second man in the Russian Orthodox Church, was sent to Hungary without explanation, appointed head of one of the Russian Orthodox Church's tiniest dioceses.
A few months later, Georgy Suzuki, an 18-year-old Orthodox youth from a Russian-Japanese family with whom Hilarion had been in correspondence, moved in with him and became his cell-attendant.
