Does Sujato deserve veneration? Does he even earn to be called a monk?

Welcome to classical Theravāda. This website is a refuge for those who find it difficult to co-exiat in modern English Buddhist discussion boards as the introduction says. Welcome to the choir.

Ajahn Sujato is not easily stopped and there is quite a bit of momentum for his train. As long as he is not expelled or parajika and his ordination was valid, he is considered a monk. He is however on his way to creating an invalid lineage. He said that he was willing to ordain new monks in English with Mahayana monks fulfilling quorum needed for ordination.

However, as Bhante has said, it is best to just focus on the dhamma that matters and perhaps discuss these topics here. Find some interesting questions and post here.
