The attack received by the member of parliament from Kavala of the ND, Angeliki Delikari, on the occasion of the passing of the law on same-sex couples, also commented the Metropolitan of Larissa and Tyrnavos Mr. Jerome.
Hieronymos, speaking to Action 24, was placed on the occasion of the intervention of the Archbishop who condemned the attacks against politicians saying that “the Church does not take revenge”.
“In view of Holy Week but also of the pre-election period and in view of some things that have preceded and due to the accumulated bitterness and anger observed in Greek society, His Beatitude made a statement so that at least we avoid various bad events inside the temples. Not only the Holy Week”, said the Metropolitan of Larissa describing the reactions of believers after the recognition of the marriage of same-sex couples and continued:
“The problem is after Easter, when there are many festivals and there the problem is not so much inside the church, but outside, where the tsipouro speaks and we have little issues”.
The journalists, after his statement “sometimes the tsipouro speaks and we have issues” asked him “if some politicians will have a problem attending religious, festive events” and the Metropolitan of Larissa replied:
“Because there is a continuation of the church ritual in the folklore after the temple. The outside is possibly a bit intimidating. We as a Church and as a Metropolis have given instructions, we know that there will be a good atmosphere inside the temples. We know that it is unacceptable inside the temples to leave the purpose for which we have come. It is not good to forget the day and its significance because every day of the Holy Week has its own significance”.
