Metropolitan Seraphim of Piraeus called the priests schismatics, urging people not to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, writes Russian Athens.
Speaking on SKAI on the Calimera program, he said: “The church is the body. This is not an uncontrolled space. Unfortunately, many do not accept the church. The Church is expressed by the Holy Synod, not by every priest. Disrespect for the body of the church has consequences. In this case, we are heading towards anarchy and schismaticism. Those who do this have a split view, they are outside the body. ”
Metropolitan Seraphim also stated that doubting medical science offends God, since the Word of God claims that medicine was inspired by God.
