It’s been about 20 days now, Mr. father Dimitrios Loupasakis quietly withdrew from the holy church of St. Isidore of Lycabettus. Together with your followers monks.

The information indicates that it is located in Cretebecause his mother has health problems.

Church sources claim that his move to Crete marks his departure from Saint Isidore and the transition to the temple of Lycabettus the next day.

It is worth noting that in Agios Isidores a priest from the monastery of Petraki was appointed to manage the church. Their day-to-day operations and viewing of the corresponding Facebook page also ceased.

Father Loupasakis went to Crete after letter His personal Archbishop Jerome. Information indicates that in the letter, Mr. Jerome called on Father Demetrius to leave Saint Isidore, emphasizing that otherwise both the church and the authorities would immediately apply the measures provided for by law.

On the part of the Archdiocese, it was decided to behave with restraint and not expand on this issue.

Archbishop’s announcement

At the end of October, Archbishop Jerome, talking to “K”referred to this matter.

– Those who are not involved in church affairs are mistaken. They think this is the first time this has happened. This has happened many times. This is how Christian organizations began, only kinder. There is a lot of arrogance here. In the 1950s and 1960s, all of Greece was dominated by Christian organizations. “Life”, “Savior”, Kantiotis and others. That’s how they all started. Here’s how it starts now. But he has an arrogance, we do not know what it is connected with. She occupied us and continues to occupy us. Many sick people have gone there and come here disappointed. It is a phenomenon that has come and gone. The church instructed St. Larisius, then still an archimandrite, and he conducted a very good investigation and sent him to the courts. Very harsh text, but not far from reality. Responsibility has come to me. What am I? Warlord, police chief, or am I a father too? Let’s say you have a deviant child, would you try to give him advice? I said bear the burden, but also be a father. It’s not just him, it’s 16 guys, 25-30 years old. Community without legal existence. I called them, talked to the children, told them: “You want to become monks, it’s not like that here, there is no monastery.” Shouldn’t I help them?

– It seems that they persuaded them to leave, I will give them the old monastery in Vari, which will become an ordinary monastery, with law, control, etc. They will have rules, they will be disciplined somewhere. I gave them a few days and I expect a response within five days. If they say they accept, we will contact. If they say “we live here”, then what the rules of the Church say and what the laws of the state say will be done.

If they go to a legitimate monastery and go naive, then they themselves will answer, but it will be something controlled, but now there is no control. Cross rigging is not allowed. It will be placed on display in the monastery where they are going, and everyone will be able to bow.

– Never.
