The Minister of Education must take seriously the issue of the art teacher, said today the Archbishop of Cyprus Chrysostomos II, repeating from Paphos that "he has no place in Education and must leave". He also said that politicians should not look at things only by voting and that "they kept quiet so as not to lose votes".
Speaking after the divine service at the Church of the Nativity of the Savior Christ, the Archbishop said that an artist "has the right to do naked, to do whatever he wants to the point of not offending the other." But when he is a civil servant, he continued, he has no right to challenge institutions such as the President of the Republic. "He can not be an employee of the state, get paid and insult the President of the Republic or the Archbishop," he said as they are institutions.
When he is not a teacher who has an obligation to prepare children to enter society as the right people, as personalities, he continued, "he has an obligation not only to prepare them cognitively to learn knowledge, but he must also offer morality," he said, adding that "At this point it has failed." "It is not ethical what it offers, it is unacceptable," he added.
According to the Archbishop, the teacher "was given the opportunity to apologize, to apologize and yet he showed his bad self, the RIK gave him time and began to blame us for the institutions" saying that "the Archbishop is dressed in gold-woven fabrics".
"The truth is that the Archbishop has a simple uniform that he wears in both winter and summer and those who attend the services see the vestments I have," he said, adding that he does not live a luxurious life like those who "kiss the left on their roofs."
"I live a very humble life," he continued, saying he did not go to the Archdiocese because he was missing something and would find it there. He asked to go there to work, to make incisions, as he did, he said, saying that his offer seems. He also said that he did not go there to enjoy something he did not have in the Monastery or something he did not have in the Diocese.
The Archbishop of Cyprus then stated that he lives a humble life, while he learned to be grounded without flying in the clouds, to add that what the teacher was saying is a lie.
"I used to get in and out of double cabs," he said, "and I learned to get off and get into mini vehicles," he said. Referring to the two cars he has, he explained that they were not bought by the Archdiocese, but were given to him by "friends of the Church and personal friends of mine" while he has owned them for 14 years.
"If he was accusing me I would not answer," he said, adding that "he came to upset the nicknamed crew" and that he, as the person in charge, could not remain silent. "I can not accept the scandal of the nicknamed crew because it wants someone who wants to make noise about himself and wants to present himself as being persecuted by the Church," he continued.
The Archbishop of Cyprus continued, saying that the teacher "is unacceptable and can not stay in Education. And the Minister of Education must take it seriously. He has no place in Education and must leave "as he" put himself out of Education ".
He also said that politicians should not look at things only by vote. "They kept quiet so as not to lose votes, they are unacceptable," he added.
Referring to the sermon of the day, he said that "everyone, rich and poor, has learned to steal. Those who are given the opportunity to steal, steal unfortunately. "Our people did not have this evil, our people had humanity," he said, referring to an unacceptable situation.
"We are under half-occupation, if what our people give for defense went to defense, we would have some defense" he said and asked "finally to stop stealing and we have money for good defense and we have money for this people to have a good time ».
He said that the evil that our country is suffering today, that is, that the rich and the poor steal "must stop", while he said that Cyprus has the data to do well from an economic point of view.
"If we do not have the financial means and if we do not have the defense, we cannot talk," he said, adding that the two must pre-exist "otherwise we should give up talking." Without these two facts we can not have serious talks to reach a bearable future for this place, he concluded.
