Boris Ignatievsky
Archpriest Boris Ignatievsky of the Cabramatta church became known for his controversial remarks following the conviction of Alexis Rosentool, a former priest found guilty of sexual abuse. Ignatievsky warned his congregation that 'sheep do not judge their shepherd,' which drew criticism and led to his suspension from priestly duties for a week by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) hierarchy. His comments highlighted the challenges of addressing misconduct within close-knit religious communities and the protective instincts that may arise for their leaders.
