The visit comes in the wake of the turmoil in relations between the government and the church following the passage of the bill on equality in civil marriage, while at the Maximou they were particularly pleased to hear the Archbishop’s statement today, who stressed that the Church does not retaliate and in doing so, he cleared priests and believers who attacked government officials and ND MPs in the past few days.
