With its announcement, the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Autocephalous Church of Albania denounces that “an Archimandrite of the Church of Crete, who signs on social networks as Ilias Anastasiadis (Archimandrite Romanos), posted on his personal website on days of great holidays obscene insults ( a) 11.08.2023. b) 12.08.2023) at the expense of His Beatitude Archbishop of Tirana and all Albania Mr. Anastasios.

The occasion was a letter from the Archbishop to the persecuted Ukrainian Metropolitan Tulchin and Bratslav, Mr. Jonathan, in which it is stated that “With profound sadness we watch the painful trials of Your Eminence and our chosen flock… We continuously hope that God will claim You” always recommend yourselves as deacons in much patience….’ (2 Cor. 6, 4-9)””.

At the same time, in the communiqué it is pointed out that the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Autocephalous Church of Albania hopes that its superior ecclesiastical Authority, regardless of the persons who are covered behind this mask, will intervene effectively, so that this stinking behavior can be stopped.

His successive malicious texts brutally insult not only two local Orthodox Churches but also the prestige of Orthodoxy in the Christian world.
