Greek Orthodox Priest Forced To Resign Because Of "Cake Porn" Sex Tapes: Gothamist

Although this story doesn't completely fall under the type church misconduct I tend to follow, and the primary individuals involved are consenting adults, there is the allegation of misusing church funds and maybe a bit of hypocrisy. 

Ben Yakas, writing at Gothamist, lays out the details with background to this tale.

A staunchly conservative high-ranking Greek Orthodox priest at a Manhattan church has been suspended and forced to resign after evidence of a longtime affair with a practitioner he once called his "goddaughter" came out.

The Post has the exposé on Father George Passias, the married 67-year-old former pastor of St. Spyridon Church in Washington Heights, who they say has impregnated his longtime lover and parish-school principal Ethel Bouzalas. In addition, Passias has been accused of misusing church funds, as documented both by the Post and NY Magazine.

The Post levied these accusations at Passias in 2013—he denied everything at the time, telling them, "They have been saying I’m having a private affair with her. She is a goddaughter to me. That’s it." Steve Papadatos, the Parish Council president, told The National Herald at the time that the allegations against Passias were "lies," blasting the tabloid for publishing a story "replete with slander."

But it seems a series of "shocking" sex tapes leaked to church officials have ended Passias' career. The Post reviewed the tapes, which apparently involved "cake porn."
