Earlier, His Beatitude Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Mr. Ieronymos pointed out in his statement that yesterday afternoon he ordered “the carrying out of regular investigations, following named complaints before the competent authorities, against the cleric of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens Fr. Antonio Papanikolaou, in which and I imposed, by my decision, the prohibition of sacrificial acts until the trial of the case.

“As a Church, we are at the disposal of the authorities, in order to contribute, in any way, to the complete clarification of this nightmarish case,” he points out.

On the part of “Kivotos” they speak of a scenario of lies and ask for the fastest investigation and clarification of “this dark case in order to reveal the truth and the scenario of lies and to remove this sad shadow over our organization”.
