“The law cannot be applied at will so that whoever does not agree can ignore it,” said the press office of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the Church, responding to the decision of the Holy Permanent Synod that does not consent to the new measures against the coronavirus in services.
“We hope that the Church realizes the urgency of the moments for society, as it has done so far with responsibility. The implementation of preventive and precautionary measures is an obligation but also an act of social solidarity and responsibility of all of us” , adds the Maximos statement, which essentially expresses the prime minister personally and returns the ball to the Holy Synod, leaving open all possibilities for the application of the law.
Maximou recalls, without hiding his annoyance, that: “The government at all stages of the pandemic was in constant consultation with the Church on service issues, with respect for public health and the faith of the people. In this context, the Christmas and New Year services were held and the Epiphanies were planned ”.
It points out that: “The need not to jeopardize the constant course of the fight against the virus, especially with the reopening of schools, has forced this week to return to the previous regime of restrictions on the market and society, including the prediction that the service of the Epiphanies will take place without the presence of the faithful ”and underlines that, of course, the possibility of incidental individual prayer of the faithful in the temples remains.
