On April 29, 2020, Metropolitan Nektarios of Kerkyra, Paxos, and the Diapontian Islands of the Greek Orthodox Church stated that those who believe in the triumph of globalization over the Church of Christ are mistaken. This was reported by the Greek publication Romfea.
During his sermon, he noted that living in an era of scientific achievements marginalizing God, "we have found that man is weak in the face of the temptation of illness."
"God asks everyone, especially bishops and clergy, as well as laypeople, not to reject His grace, to hope, and to accept His power. We respect science, but we cannot deny the priority of Divine grace," underscored the hierarch.
According to him, "those who believe that globalization will triumph over the faith of Christ and the Church are mistaken. The holy apostles live in our hearts, and the persecutors of faith have died."
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that according to Metropolitan Nektarios, the Greek Church needs a Moses who will lead it to salvation and deliverance.
