In his address to believers at the festive vespers in the Church of St. Basil, Metropolitan of Kerkyra of the Greek Orthodox Church, Nektarios, called on everyone to take stock of the year and think about the fact that the pandemic was used to lead to the collapse of faith, writes Vima orthodoxias.

“The pandemic was used to lead to the collapse of faith, to the surrender of our people, since only the Church remains in the field of vision of the so-called spiritual orders and intellectuals of our society.

Could it be that our world ultimately remains ungrateful to God? Therefore, deeper reflections are needed both on the part of the clergy and on the part of believers, ”said the priest.
