“I am looking forward to a return not only to normality but also to ecclesianism,” said metropolitan Nafpaktos Hierotheos, speaking of “deviation,” speaking on SKAI television, in light of Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ announcements for the gradual lifting of the measures. .

“Since the problem is overcrowding, we will take all the measures there, we will do what they have told us. Now I do not know if they have other reasons,” said Metropolitan Nafpaktos.

He then commented on statements by government spokesman Stelios Petsas that the churches would be gradually opened and that the request made by Archbishop Ieronymos in his letter would not be accepted, adding that he was frustrated after his continued interventions.

“After all, what is the Church for them? What is the Church, is it a union, is it a supermarket?”, “Is it worse than the supermarket, is it worse than the hairdresser? What is the church, no a divine organization? Who has a tradition of 20 centuries? “Hierotheos said emphatically.

He also asked “What is this power and what are the limits of power” and explained that he says all this because he knows that the decision sent by the committee of experts to the Prime Minister “moves approximately in what the Archbishop says without raising the issue of faith. “.

In conclusion, the Metropolitan characteristically declared that “when the legitimate government does not respect the charismatic and traditional government, then we have a detour.”

It is recalled that, as Petsas stated on Monday, referring to the plan to lift the restrictive measures, “initially hairdressers and retail and personal hygiene companies will open with specific rules on public service. Then they will gradually and reasonably open The next phase will open the next phase: the bigger companies will open in the next phase, the catering companies will always be under certain conditions and if their health develops smoothly, the churches will be open for individual worship from the first steps. of reducing restrictive measures, while in the next stage places of worship will be opened with specific rules and measures to protect their operation for the flock. “
