“The Church does not take revenge” answered 24 hours later the archbishop of Athens and all Greece Hieronymos to a journalist’s question about the attacks on politicians on the occasion of the passing of the law on the marriage of same-sex couples.
Hieronymos was content to say after the attack received by New Democracy MP Angeliki Delikari in Kavala “these kinds of events are not right”. It is noted that yesterday there were two incidents, as a priest in Patras verbally attacked the Deputy Minister of Transport, Christina Alexopoulou yesterday
“The Church is love. She complains, she says her positions, she is firm in them, but we must not forget that love is the one that is above all, as well as kindness and tolerance” Hieronymos noted, as broadcast by ERT.
“These incidents are also due to everyone’s education and the influence of some people who perceive many things of the Church as revenge. The Church, however, does not take revenge. She loves, but she doesn’t leave her positions,” he added.
Two attacks on politicians inside churches in 24 hours
With excommunications and curses accompanied by homophobic delirium, a priest in Patras yesterday verbally attacked the Deputy Minister of Transport, Christina Alexopoulou, because of her decision to vote in favor of the bill for same-sex couples.
The priest’s verbal attack against the member of parliament of Kavala of the ND, Christina Alexopoulou, occurred during the trisago in the procession in memory of the paternal victims of Turkish brutality, a fact she confirmed with her statements on a website.
It was the second incident of targeting a politician who spoke in favor of the bill for same-sex couples within a few hours, as yesterday morning the ND MP, Angeliki Delikari, was slapped by a former candidate for the far-right “Niki” parliament, inside a holy temple .
