Filippos Loizos, Vatopethi Monastery, Orthodoxy and The Rape of Greece are there Taliban in Greece?
a lawmaker from the far-right Golden Dawn party, brought the issue before parliament, the Neo Nazis who are now in parliament in Greece brought a case against a lad who criticised a church that has robbed the Greek people of billions, do Orthodox devotees not feel the Church should face charges for their theft?
ATHENS (Reuters) - A man who created a Facebook page poking fun at a revered Greek Orthodox monk has been sentenced to 10 months in prison in Greece after being found guilty of blasphemy.
Thousands of Greeks took to social networking sites to protest against the arrest in 2012 of Filippos Loizos, 28, who used a play on words to portray Father Paisios as a traditional pasta-based dish.

"He was merely satirizing in a country that gave birth to satire," his lawyer Yorgos Kleftodimos said on Friday. "Never and by no means did he insult the Orthodox Church."

Father Paisios, who was revered for his spiritual teachings and said by some believers to have powers of prophecy, died in 1994.

Loizos has appealed against the ruling and will not be jailed before his case is heard by a higher court, Kleftodimos said.
The charges against him, of insulting religion and malicious blasphemy, were filed after Christos Pappas, a lawmaker from the far-right Golden Dawn party, brought the issue before parliament.
The Vatopedi Monastery on Mount Athos, which was embroiled in a huge land swap scandal that emerged in 2008, has been linked to losses of some 4 billion euros for the Cypriot banking system from non-performing loans issued by Marfin Popular Bank, according to figures provided to a parliamentary committee in Nicosia by former Greek MP Dimitris Tsironis, who served as head of the parliamentary committee that investigated the case.

“We estimate that at least 4 billion euros was lost through this affair,” the head of the Cypriot committee, Dimitris Syllouris, said after the end of Tuesday’s session, adding that the committee will expand its investigation.

“We have to proceed to a very deep and enlarged investigation because this really is a huge scandal that was created at the expense of the credit system of Cyprus, including the use of monasteries and companies registered in Cyprus, with suspicious consequences,” said Syllouris.

Tsironis stated that the Cypriot Parliament was given all data collected by the Greek investigation and that “the Cypriot [banking] problem would have been much more limited had it not been for [the Vatopedi case], as this scandal has doubled its problems.”
SO SHOULD THERE NOT BE SOME PAY-BACK?
THE LAND-SWAP THEFT BROUGHT ALL THE CORRUPTION IN GREECE TO THE SURFACE, SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT A CHURCH THAT HAS DONE SUCH THINGS?
Vatopedi.
