Ioan Pop, the priest with the All Saints Romanian Orthodox Church was just charged with sexual assault at church. Apparently, a woman barely escaped only after a couple walked in on what was going on.

It's a sad day for Ioan Pop, his family, and Romanian Christian Orthodoxy in general, but on the bright side, the abused women are finally getting some closure and Ioan Pop won’t have a chance to repeat his weird brand of sexual religiosity. As usual, I am not content with only reporting on the news; I have a few other things to say.

Un ziar local din Pennsylvania descrie pe cateva pagini, in amanuntime, povestea unui preot imigrant. Daca ei pot atat, pot si eu cateva paragrafe, nu?

Citeam la @arhi nu demult o discutie pe tema pedofiliei. Si cum mi se-ntampla tot mai des in ultima vreme, desi discutia era pe cat de rationala poate fi o astfel de discutie ce contine implicit multe emotii, am fost infuriat de cateva prostii ridicate la rangul de "statistici".

There are two subjects that seem to dominate the Romanian public sphere (I would say blogo.ro-oaie, but that's defunct): the religion choice in schools and the New York Times Op-Ed on corruption in Romania. I’m very tempted to make a nice hot stew out of both, but I’ll try to keep each to its own article.

After writing about the sexual assault complaint about Ioan Pop on September 13, I was even considering going to the October 15 court appearance. It turns out that a court appearance has already taken place before I had a chance to wake up (and I’m still on antibiotics).

Am mentionat in articolele precedente sarbatori religioase ale altor credinte cat si cele ale crestinatatii ortodoxe. Desi am incercat sa citesc carti despre istoria religiilor, continui sa stiu putine despre majoritatea celor din afara crestinatatii. Aici incep sa aflu.

Iata ca numai bine ce s-a terminat Craciunul, si-au inceput preotii sa-si dea la gioale (2,3). Si cu maturi (simbolul vrajitoarelor), nu cu manusi de box!

Not brown as a result of my trip to Cuba, but rather as a state of mind.

It has recently come to my attention that today is St Andrew's day and also Scotland National Day. Tomorrow is Romania's. Or, since it’s unlikely I’ll finish this article and publish it today, subtract one day from all the temporal adverbs above. We will also learn here who put the ‘X’ in XXX.

The current culture clash about some Norwegian child welfare agency having seized a Romanian couple’s children over physical discipline and the ensuing protests coming mostly from religious groups has a recognizable background: it’s a rehashing of the century-old conservative vs liberal quarrel. I have respect and admiration for Norway and their altruistic, enlightened and generous foreign policy and foreign aid, but this case may be more than just that.

Cand eram mic, mi se spunea ca daca ma joc cu focu', ma ard sau fac pipi-n pat. Si m-am jucat cu focu', da' am avut noroc ca n-am ramas gravid si nici pipi-n pat n-am facut. Adica am facut, da' nu cand ma jucam cu focu'. Mhm.

Uichendu' trecut nu mi-au iesit toate pasientele, si m-am gandit sa ma confesez si sa-nghit niste carbohidrati imbibati in vin dup-aia. Si uite-asa m-am trezit cumparand un belet pe care de fapt il castigasem...

For the longest time I've been meaning to write an article about how youth is not a virtue in itself, but a time when you're actually pretty dumb, and though in your older age you might look back with regret, that does not (or should not) make youngsters gods.

My reservations notwithstanding, I suspect most of the people who voted for Iohannis do not really know who he is, apart from the fact that he is not Ponta. I'm trying to bring a bit more color and background to his wooden personality.

Some recent Romanian news led me to consider the possibility that many Romanian men suffer from an undiagnosed affliction: Uterus envy. Let us together discover what that means, and how this was already named “womb envy” by a psychoanalyst named HORNEY.

Pus la treaba de Karla, care ma-ntreba in articolul precedent despre calendarul crestin ortodox 2010 cand cade Pastele Catolic in 2010, am purces a ma informa nu numa' despre cel Catolic, ci de toate Pastele si Rumegarile care este.

A while back I had an overseas guest misbehaving. I had invited her for a longer stay in Canada but it turned out she had difficulties living without regular fights. I offered to make a reservation at a hostel and cover her costs at a hostel for the rest of her stay but she refused and I was eventually bribed to give in due to my membership affiliation.

Citeam mai deunazi o lista a motivelor de maritis ale unei bloggerite mai in varsta. S-a maritat acum 20 de ani si este de presupus ca nu era bloggerita chiar de-atunci (jurnalele scrise de mana nu se pun). E interesant.

O stire de la Crestin Ortodox . ro ma indeamna cu strasnicie si cuvioasa curiozitate sa vaz ce se mai intampla si pe saitul lor, intru propovaduirea dreptei credinte catre intreaga suflare a neamului.
