Archbishop Hieronymos took a position on what happened on Sunday (21.4.2024), who was called to comment on the attacks by politicians inside the church premises, on the occasion of the passing of the law on same-sex couples.

In response to a journalist’s question about the attacks on politicians on the occasion of the passing of the law on same-sex couples, the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Mr. Ieronymos emphasized that such events are not correct.

“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” he noted.

He added: “These incidents are also due to the education of everyone 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.”

It is noted that initially the Deputy Minister of Transport, Christina Alexopoulou, was excommunicated and cursed by a priest in Patras, while later in Kavala a female member of the “Niki” party slapped the ND MP, Angeliki Delikaris.
