The last chapter in the New York cake porn priest scandal: Istanbul gives epilogue

Greek Ecumenical Patriarchate decides that the church should be defrocked and the entire executive board, including the Bishop, should be dismissed!

Newsroom November 30 09:56

In the latest installment of the kinky Washington Heights priest who was caught on video engaging in a fetish known as cake porn with a married church-school administrator came on Friday. The scandal involving Reverend George Pasios, aged 67, made its way to the Greek Orthodox Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate during its monthly meeting on Friday, November 27.

It was decided that the priest would be de-frocked, but he is not the only one to pay the earthly price of his sins. The meeting decided that the entire executive board of St. Spyridon should step down following the priest’s pastry love affair with married Ethel Bouzalas, aged 45, that the priest had appointed as St. Spyridon Parochial School principal.

Bishop Andonios Paropoulos, chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Church in the United States was also asked to step down, not because he was believed to have played the role of accomplice to the priest but because a new board would be set up from scratch, purging out any reminders of the priest’s indiscretions. Only in this way, will there be “healing and reconciliation to a fragmented community , and to restore confidence in the leadership of the parish,” says the leadership of the Greek Church.

Passias and Bouzalas rose to the international spotlight after they engaged in sex porn using a piece of banana bread. Both were married and did harm not only to their parish, but to the entire executive church board that were viewed as accomplices and the parish that was led to lose respect for the church.

Bouzalas is now pregnant to Passias child, but has lost touch with him after he urged her to get an abortion regardless of the teachings of the Greek Orthodox Church.
