The politics of God
Can I respectfully suggest that Archbishop Chrysostomos concentrate on matters spiritual?
He is an Archbishop - not a politician or a businessman (though the latter is open to argument). His recent remarks on both the national problem and the Qatar business deal suggest he has his more interest in material than spiritual matters - how would he feel if President Christofias or MPs started issuing statements about Church affairs?
I'm sure he doesn't need me to remind him about Matthew 22:21 “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”.
He seems to be muddling the two - I suggest he would better serve his exalted office by teaching his flock the benefits of love, brotherhood and understanding, and leave the politics and business to others.
