PROTEST
By Archimandrite Fr. Savvas Hagioreites
As we said yesterday and we also want to repeat it today, we strongly protest against the government that took these burdensome and disgusting measures which are barbaric and criminal, against the people and against the Church, under the pretext of a simple virus, a simple flu, which, as the very data they themselves made public, does not justify at all these barbaric measures, which are destructive for the economy, but above all for our souls.
They tell us, so to speak, be careful for they will close your churches. But they do close the churches when they say that only nine people can enter, that is, the chanter, the verger and a few more; in effect, the churches are closed.
They make us wear the masks in the church, making the Worship like a carnival, threatening that they will close our churches and will impose fines on us. If all this were true and real, that is, if this danger was real, no fines would be needed. Man has a sense of self-preservation, an instinct for self-preservation, and he would do it all very easily. But if they impose fines, something is wrong.
