Specifically, Archbishop Hieronymos gave the order after the uproar that was caused when Archimandrite Seraphim Dimitriou refused Pavlos Christidis to attend a pie cutting because he voted for the marriage of same-sex couples, while also targeting him with his post.
In addition, Archimandrites had a fierce feud with Katerina Kainourgiou when he came out to speak on her show, with the presenter “shutting him down”.
The political world unanimously condemned the verbal attack received by the PASOK-KINAL MP, Mr. Pavlos Christidis.
The government, through its representative, Pavlos Marinakis, absolutely condemned the attack received by PASOK MP Pavlos Christidis by an archimandrite in Ilioupoli for his stance on the same-sex couple’s spa.
“The targeting of PASOK MP @christidisp is absolutely reprehensible. These individual behaviors do not echo the key role that the Church has been playing throughout time in terms of supporting Greek society,” wrote Pavlos Marinakis.
Stefanos Kasselakis expressed his support for PASOK MP Pavlos Christidis, for the attack and targeting by the archimandrite of the holy church of Agia Marina in Ilioupoli, Seraphim.
The targeting of the PASOK MP @christidisp it is absolutely reprehensible.
These individual behaviors do not echo the key role that the Church plays throughout time in terms of supporting Greek society.

Support for Christidis and from Kasselakis
The attack against Pavlos Christidis was also condemned by the president of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis.
“With Paul. The battles for human rights concern every citizen” says the president of SYRIZA in a post on his personal Twitter account, republishing the post of the PASOK-KINAL deputy.
It is recalled that the archimandrite of the Holy Church of Agia Marina Ilioupoli Seraphim, in his post, succeeded against Pavlos Christidis because he voted for the bill on the marriage and adoption of same-sex couples. In fact, he claimed that he delayed the cutting of the cake of the Iliopolis Arcades Association until Mr. Christidis left, something which the PASOK MP denied.
With Paul. Human rights battles concern every citizen.

The posting of the archimandrite
Same-Sex Marriage: PASOK’s announcement
“In a delirium of hatred, the archimandrite of I.N. Agia Marina Ilioupoli, Seraphim, goes against the MP of PASOK-Movement for Change, Pavlos Christidis, even targeting his family with photos on social media.
The institutionalization of equality in civil marriage and the protection of human rights without exceptions is an obligation of every privileged State.
Such individual behaviors are not consistent with spirituality but also with the work that the Church performs in Greek society”, stressed PASOK-KINAL.
Christidis: The targeting of my family goes beyond the limits of political confrontation
He notes, in fact, that “the unprecedented targeting of my family, accompanied by a photograph from the maternity hospital, is a limit that far exceeds the tolerable limits of political confrontation”.
The statement of PASOK-KINAL MP Pavlos Christidis
“As a human being, first and foremost, I have learned in my life to respect every point of view, no matter how contrary it is to what I support and for which I always fight and politicize whether inside or outside Parliament.
However, the unprecedented targeting of my family, accompanied by a photo from the maternity ward, is a limit that far exceeds the tolerable limits of political confrontation.
What’s more, when the incident described by Archimandrite Seraphim is only in his imagination, after I left the event for the cutting of the Arcadians’ pie, to go to another social obligation, no priest ever approached me to tell me everything and the atmosphere with the always welcoming Arcadians was more than excellent, as hundreds who were present can attest.
In my value system there is no exclusion, neither of those whose rights must be recognized by the State, nor of those who want to participate in our Church, which in any case is a pillar of social history and cohesion in the country.
For this I want to thank the President and the party for the announcement, in the face of the unimaginable attack launched by the Archimandrite on my family.
At the same time, I wish to be the only victim – representative of the Parliament against such intolerant attitudes.
Finally, Nadia and I feel the need to thank you for all the practical support for us and our family.
Pavlos Christidis”.
