One of the most respected bishops of the Church of Greece, Metropolitan Seraphim of Piraeus, has organized a highly popular concert in aid of the Greek poor. Substantial amounts of money were collected at the concert on behalf of those suffering from the financial crisis.

The Metropolitan spoke out at the concert, saying: ‘We live at a time of tragedy for our country. The reason for the catastrophe is not some natural cataclysm, but the greed and premeditated plan of the global government. But Greece has lived through much harsher trials and has always overcome them with faith in Christ and the immortal ideals of our people. Notably the Orthodox Church has always been the ark of salvation for Greeks’….’The Church is not a ministry of social defence, her aim and task is the Kingdom of Heaven and that is why she is an inspiration for us in overcoming our weaknesses. In today’s situation when the State is helpless, like a vacuum, the Church has taken on itself its task. Our means are few, but with unlimited love and trust in the Lord we are carrying out our ministry. If need be, we are ready to sell off even the candelabra and lamps from our churches in order to help those in need’.

For sure. His Holiness is quite correct.

To blame: the evil bankers and their stooges the politicians.

That's the Bishop that got assaulted by the Greek Community in Australia. He had to leave the country for his own safety.

Shows you how much they respect him.

And btw, he did get bashed and was threatened to be killed by the Christians of Australia, because he came and started to cause a lot of trouble.

Also, these priests are bankers since they own Banks and what not. This Bishop is a capitalist Accountant that came to audit the Churches in Australia and was bashed.
