Sheep Don’t Judge Shepherd

ATHEIST COMMUNITY OF AUSTIN
About this episode
This episode unearths another chilling truth: an Australian Orthodox priest's sexual assault conviction, met with the church's grotesque demand for silence— 'sheep do not judge the shepherd'. We expose how religious authority wields doctrine to shield abusers and gaslight victims, equating critique with blasphemy to maintain unchecked power. It's a shocking look at how institutions, prioritizing piety over people, perpetuate cycles of abuse and male unaccountability. This isn't just about a single priest; it's a stark warning about the systemic dangers of faith unburdened by reason, demanding we demand transparency and critical thinking to protect the vulnerable. Silence is complicity.
