Father George Passias, the married 67-year-old pastor of St. Spyridon Church in Manhattan, even impregnated his married lover, 45-year-old Ethel Bouzalas, according to sources.
Passias was once the chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, in charge of all of the religionās US priests, reports the New York Post.
An adherent to a fundamentalist faction of Greek Orthodoxy led by a controversial cleric in Arizona, he took the helm of St. Spyridon nine years ago ā and immediately ordered female worshippers to cover their heads during confession.
But there was no such nod to modesty in their shocking sex videos. In one scene, the bearded cleric, wearing only a white T-shirt, watches his long-haired brunette lover plant her G-string clad bottom on a piece of banana bread wrapped in cling wrap.
Mrs Bouzalas, wearing stiletto heels, oddly wiggles on the loaf until it is flattened ā a fetish known as ācake crushā or ācake sittingā.

In another video clip, the pretty Peruvian rubs her feet on the priestās face as they lie under a mirrored ceiling and she records his ecstasy at the encounter. In another tape, the priest performs oral sex on his lover while she is still clad in sheer pantyhose.
The videos and photos of the pair were provided anonymously to The Post last week with a letter saying they were downloaded off a computer in Passiasās church office. The sender wrote that a private investigator had been hired to tail the couple to their rendezvous in motels in New Jersey and upstate New York.
The scandal blew up in early September when Tom Bouzalas, Ethel Bouzalasās husband, emailed Bishop Andonios Paropoulos, the chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Church in the United States, and disclosed the affair, the bishop told The Post.
The bishop said that both Fr Passias and Ethel Bouzalas then came to see him and that Fr Passias was suspended on September 16 āas per the sexual-misconduct policy of the archdioceseā.
Bishop Andonios said he had not seen the sex tapes but ālearned of their existence during our meetings with both partiesā.

After a weeks-long absence from the pulpit, Fr Passias told his St. Spyridon flock in an email last week that he was leaving for āpersonal and health reasonsā, and confessed to āmultitudinous sins and shortcomingsā.
āI will now fade out of this world for a considerable time according to Godās will,ā he wrote. āHe has chosen for me … that I should retire and follow the way of silence, prayer, fasting, and Āutter devotion to our Lord.
āPlease do not ask where I am going and where I will be. Then it would not be possible for me to fulfil what is my lot.ā
He asked his parishioners to pray for him and his wife. He has four grown children. Mrs Bouzalas has three kids.

āSheās a goddaughter to meā
In 2013, The Post broke the story about the unorthodox relationship between Fr Passias and Mrs Bouzalas and alleged fiscal wrongdoing at the church, which has nearly 200 families and was established in 1931 when the neighbourhood was a Greek stronghold.
When Fr Passias took the helm of the Wadsworth Avenue church in 2006, Mrs Bouzalas came with him as his assistant. He called her his āspiritual goddaughter,ā and they arrived and left together every day. A church handyman said he once saw her sitting on the priestās lap.
Mrs Bouzalas told parishioners that she converted to the Greek Orthodox faith and that Fr Passias baptised her while she wore a bikini. The conversion apparently came before she was to marry her husband, a follower of the faith.
Greek Orthodoxy has 24 million followers worldwide. The seat of the Christian church is in Istanbul, Turkey, presided over by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Priests can only be men but are allowed to marry.
With his flowing black robes and oversized cross around his neck, Fr Passias cut an imposing and authoritative figure. Mrs Bouzalas, meanwhile, favoured short skirts and high heels.

Mrs Bouzalas, who had no education credentials, was soon promoted to be the volunteer principal of the St. Spyridon Parochial School, which serves kindergarten to eighth grade and has a taxpayer-funded pre-kindergarten program. She also became church treasurer and a signatory on bank accounts.
In addition to imposing the conservative rules, Fr Passias ruffled longtime congregants who said he removed controls over church spending and questioned why money was being poured into repairs at the school.
Management of four church-owned apartment buildings was given over to a company tied to Alma Bank, which also provided cash and mortgage refinancing. Renovations of the buildings was then done by two firms tied to principals at Alma Bank.
In 2013, Fr Passias told The Post the allegations were cooked up by a group of āevil-minded peopleā ā parishioners who wanted him gone.
They have been saying Iām having a private affair with her,ā he said. āShe is a goddaughter to me. Thatās it.ā
Steve Papadatos, the Parish Council president, at the time called the allegations against Fr Passias āliesā, then blasted The Post for publishing a story that he said was āreplete with slanderā and innuendo. He called the church āeternally gratefulā to the priest and Bouzalas, according to The National Herald, a newspaper that covers the Greek community.
Mr Papadatos last week said that he wouldnāt comment on the scandal, but that he stood by Fr Passias and Mrs Bouzalas and wanted people to pray for them.
The bishop said that the misconduct was brought before a āSpiritual Court of the First Degreeā last week and that a council of church leaders ā including the head of Greek Orthodoxy in the United States ā will review the findings. Any punishment, including possible defrocking, will be decided in Istanbul.

Asked why the church had ignored the longtime allegations of the affair, the bishop said, āLacking any concrete evidence of an affair, there was no responsible way the church could take any further action.ā
He said an audit a few years ago found no misuse of funds, but another investigation would take place āto assure that Ābetween that time and now, nothing has changedā.
Mrs Bouzalas packed up her school office last week. A moving van carted off a desk, filing cabinet, table and shopping bags with her belongings. A new principal has been assigned to the school.
Her husband refused to comment on the affair or the pregnancy but said the couple was still together. He confirmed he knew of the sex tapes.

Fr Passias, in his farewell note to parishioners, said he was following the direction of āmy spiritual father Geronda Ephraimā. Ephraim presides over St. Anthonyās Greek Orthodox monastery in Florence, Ariz. The family of a young man who lived there and committed suicide in 2012 contends the death was the result of āsix years of physical and psychological abuseā at the monastery.
