The debt ridden Greek government has been accused of wasting taxpayers' money in the persecution of rebel monks from the country's Holy Mountain, Mount Athos.
Patriarch Bartholomew, the head of the Orthodox church wants to evict the monks from their monastery because of their opposition to his leadership and his attempt to secure closer ties with the Catholic church.
The monks have set up a smuggling operation to overcome a police and coastguard blockade aimed at forcing them out of Esphigmenou (ESS FIG MEN OO ) monastery.
From there,Malcolm Brabant reports...
Father Savvas, rebel monk
John Rigas, Pro-Esphigmenou campaigner
Abbott Methodius, rebel leader.

I believe you misunderstood my comment. I am defending the monks of Esphigmenou against the persecution of the Patriarch, not defending the Patriarch.

Better a "zealot" than a heretic!

This is another attempt by the Phanar heretics in Constantinople to starve these monks into submission and into commemorating the heretic Patriarch Vartholomaios (AKA Black Bart), but they continue to say ORTHODOXEIA H THANATOS, and will NOT bow to heresy and Ecumenism.
