The Chapel of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God was torn down apparently after local churchmen decided it had been defiled. The priest, the Rev. Vladimir Enert, was defrocked after the men said they paid him a $450 bribe to ignore a ban of same-sex "marriages."

Priceless!

Shoulda tarred and feathered him too. That way he'd be both defrocked AND flocked.

Why can't our Church act swiftly and decisively like this?

Although, I wonder why they couldn't have reconsecrated the chapel. But I don't know how that works in the Eastern Churches.

BTW, anyone know whatever happened with that Texas church that had been used for pagan ceremonies?

Now that's the way to do it!
