Donald Trump’s election as US President, the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Hieronymos, who spoke to Breitbart News from his office in Athens, described the election of Donald Trump as a positive development.

In detail about Trump’s return to the White House, Archbishop Hieronymos said: “President Trump’s election was a positive development. I would like to tell him that we need changes, such as those he is trying to implement, but changes we can and must understand. For example, when the US relationship with China changes alongside economic balances, this can lead to opposite results, even to a war. Europe is preparing for such a negative scenario. The economy is changing daily. Prices rise and burden families, and life becomes more difficult. My message is that we have to turn our attention to younger generations“

In terms of guaranteeing the right to marriage to same -sex couples he said: “In Greece, marriage between people of the same sex has not been accepted by much of society. We believe in human freedom, but that does not mean extreme actions and demonstrations or activism that causes humans. We cannot and should not force politicians to vote for something they are essentially disagreeing with. All of this has shocked the average citizen in previous years. Then came Trump’s victory, and the president made it clear that there were only two sexes, and we noticed that many world leaders and Europeans began to repeat the same argument. “.

The head of the Orthodox Church of Greece, evaluating Trump’s presence on the world political scene, stressed:

“I praise him in many areas and I believe he benefits the world. But it sometimes needs to show a bit of moderation. People are afraid that if things go wrong, we will return to difficult times. President Trump must be aware of the needs of the average person – and he serves this role well. But I would like to remind him that the Church is a force that can always provide support and support to the people. I always admired our ancestors who said that if we want to go quickly, we must move slowly and steadily. I watch President Trump Strait, he is very active. We need many changes, but not in a hurry. Step by step I believe it can contribute positively to the world“

In closing, Archbishop Hieronymus stressed about young people and their relationship with religion: “It is true that we are wondering if this phenomenon we see is a real increase or a transient fashion. The Greeks went through difficult times lately and many have led to various forms of search. And the truth is that much of the responsibility belongs to political parties and ideologies. This seems strongly to young people, especially after elementary school. Youth today is constantly searches. It wants a new world, perhaps influenced by the times of the times. The real question is whether we are ready to respond. We must first consider our own responsibilities. I recently had a meeting with colleagues working with young people. We have found that there is interest, young people today have wider horizons than we are, and they are constantly looking for something more. But there are two basic questions: What exactly are they looking for? Only everyday and temporary? The truth is that young people understand that materials are not enough to fill the human soul. So what will we offer them? There is my role – how will I connect with these young people if I don’t understand what they go through? If I can’t embrace their concerns or if I ignore them, then I move away. This means that I have to adapt to true cooperation. “
