A powerful alliance of Orthodox
clergy, judicial officials and politicians may have succeeded in
shielding clerical child abusers from justice.
When Father Goran Arsic was finally asked to
testify before a commission investigating allegations that a bishop had
sexually abused children, he had high hopes the church would confront
the scandal head-on. Until now, even the existence of the
specially-convened commission, let alone its findings, has remained a
closely-guarded secret. That the commission was led by the
recently-enthroned Patriarch has also been kept from the public.http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/serbian-church-accused-of-sex-abuse-cover-up
