Head of Cypriot Church speaks out against same-sex couples
Archbishop George said that the Church will never bless anything that contradicts its principles, regardless of the state’s decisions.
The head of the Cypriot Orthodox Church, Archbishop George, has spoken out against the blessing of same-sex couples, reports orthodoxia.info.
Archbishop George said that the Church will never bless anything that contradicts its principles, regardless of the state’s decisions.
According to him, the Church expresses its opinion through following the Gospel principles to which all believers adhere.
"When the Church accepts that there are two sexes, male and female created by God, she cannot accept any legislative regulation that the state will make. She will not fight anyone, she accepts them all, but she will state her principles, her positions and invite those who want to follow Her," Archbishop George said.
