The Metropolitan of Kalavryta and Egialias Ambrosios blasted Education Minister Nikos Filis over his decision to replace the current religious studies from the school curriculum with a lesson on comparative world religions. The Metropolitan held no bars on Good Friday during his speech at Church, pleading to Christ that Fili’s arm would rot before he signed the decree. Ambrosios also had a few words for the atheists who violated fasting on Good Friday by eating meat. He said he hoped the meat would ‘turn to poison and puncture their stomach’! ‘Before you, I pray to the Crucified Christ that the hand of Filis rots off if he signs such an atheistic decree’, said Ambrosios to his flock.
