He is waaaaayyyyy out there....

I'm not in the OCA. Isn't there anyone there who can reign him in? Even outside of his public political statements, his activity on the internet should set off alarms for somebody. He is often so outrageous that when I first started reading the Yahoo list, I thought "Bishop Tikhon" must have just been his screen name, that he couldn't really be a bishop. I was stunned to find out that he is.

Unfortunately, politics dominate the church just like every other organization and no one is willing to step up and stop the madness. This bishop is famous for making outrageous comments and being "out there". There are no check and balances available, and bishops are appointed for life. As long as they do not violate any of the Orthodox religious Traditions or cannon laws they can safely say and do just about anything.

What's really sad about all this, I have heard from quite a few friends and acquitances in the OCA that talked about how this man ignores serious issues with many of his parishes. When people in his diocese try to ask for help or ask to meet with him or write letters for him to fullfill his duties, he simply ignores them. There have been instances online when he insults and degrades anyone who dares to disagree with him. It is amazing!
