“Pope, you are a heretic!” the priest shouted three times as Francis arrived at the residence of Archbishop Ieronymos in the Greek capital of Athens. The protester fell to the ground as police led him away, and Francis appeared not to notice as he walked into the residence for his private meeting with the Orthodox leader.
The incident followed small protests against the pope on his previous stop, the island of Cyprus, which is also predominantly Christian Orthodox. But inside Ieronymos’ residence, the two Christian leaders could not have been more friendly with one another and in synch in their shared call for Christians to work together to protect the environment and care for migrants. In contrast to the lone heckling priest, Ieronymos welcomed Francis “with a feeling of honor and fraternity.”Francis’ state visit to Greece comes 20 years after St.
Ieronymos told Francis on Saturday that he shared the pope’s vision to forge strong ties to face global challenges like the migration crisis and climate change. “If the world community, the leaders of powerful states, and international organizations do not take bold decisions, the ever-threatening presence of vulnerable refugee women and children will continue to grow globally,” Ieronymos warned. “Together we must shake the rocks and the walls against the intransigence of the powerful of the Earth.”
Ortodox priest has a right to vow like that, we all remember what catholics did to ortodoxians in the past
He isn’t wrong…
Why is everyone from r/atheism coming on here? Atheism has been cringe for a while, this isnt the early 2010s anymore
Sit down and be quiet. Do you think God is pleased with your behavior?
schism 2 electric boogaloo
Thank you, God, for your healing gift of religion to humanity.
Why you bringing up old shit
In case anyone else needs it
blagojevism This you?
Starting something, in public, over a 1000 year old schism. booksandleather, you will adore this.
Religion is a disease. It is the cause of most of the strife and divisiveness on the planet.
Wow..no one has boundaries anymore?
Looks like the old codger has been waiting since 1054 for his chance to admonish an RC pope.
Religion is poison. Always was. Still is.
New schism just dropped
Only one (1) priest protested the Pope's visit. And you elevate this to the status of a 'frontline story'? What's next? 'Pigeon 🐦 pooped on the Pope in Syntagma Square'?! Journalism at its best not
'I would rather see a Turkish turban in the midst of the city than the Latin mitre' Loukas Notaras - 1453 Notaras' soul is still alive.
Pope Francis joyfully meets Hieronymos II, Orthodox Archbishop of Athens & All Greece . But you focus on a lone crank. Jn 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Finally, someone say it in his face, not just around the corners.
The dictionary definition of 'unhelpful'.
As a scorpio, I really admire someone maintaining a 1000 year old grudge 😂
Ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣
Schism forever
Three times. So Greek.
Yes. He is a heretic, they all are, culminating with The Borgia's; intrigues, orgies, murders, skulduggery. Now this old geezer is saying evolution could be right!
We're the Judean People's Front! No, we're the People's Front of Judea!
Bravo, kala kani 👏👏👏
who cares
cwharlow Wether the catholic church nor the greek orthodox are of any interest to me.
As long as he didn’t say Beetlejuice three times!
Person who believe in superstition is calling out another person who believes in superstition for believing in superstition
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
He looks like he just crawled out of a grave.😲
Patriarchal religions all like
Yo ebruenig your thoughts?
What an embarrassment.
Was his name Marty Luther?
They know the truth....The pope is a joke.... now even they have to be politically correct or they might get removed or they might hurt someone's feelings... speaking the truth.
Imagine being angry at a pope for expressing God's love as the 1 thing about God. Most of the previous popes just focused on all the ways the bible makes God out to be an asshole.
You don’t see that everyday.
Good thing George didn’t convert.
Wow someone is angry & needs a sit down to discuss differences
For gods sake please get more bat shit crazy religion back into our politics! Yo baptists the Methodists think you’re heretical but all the factions will put aside their beef to get back in the power game! Separation protects the freedom of religion!
At first I thought those were marijuana plants behind that old heckler 💀💀💀💀
Did lightning strike him?
It's a family feud. Stay out of it. No good ever comes from sticking your nose into the neighbors' fights [unless bloodshed is happening, then... well...]
It's all about market share.
😁
It was a great visit in which the Pope was welcome by the state and the church. Fellowship and courteous discussions took place. Focus the vastly more positive aspects of the visit not beef of an out of order priest.
