The model of the “disobedient” priest in Melbourne

The model of the “disobedient” priest in Melbourne

In Greece, the case of the “miracle worker” clergyman of Athens, Fr. Dimitris Loupasakis, was on the ecclesiastical news.

Metropolitans were divided and the faithful rose up, some in his favor and others against him, for a clergyman who has excellent relations with the celebrities of Greece and performs miracles with a Cross, who, without knowing how was found in his hands.

At least twenty Metropolitans are at the side of the Metropolitan of Argolida, who accused him publicly of “charlatanism”. Except they don’t say it in public. They don’t want to mess with the people who are gathering in Lycabettus? They don’t want to scandalize the people they believe in? People are right to believe and they will continue to believe. To Jesus Christ and the Church and the Orthodox faith. No person, no miracle worker, and no Orthodox “group” on Facebook substitute for our genuine and true faith.

Inclination to public relations

The once Greek postman, Dimitris Loupasakis, had a flair for public relations. That is why Archbishop Christodoulos of Athens ordained him twenty years ago. For his communicative gift and his sweet look. In the beginning, he was “integrated” into the line of the Church. Soon after, he started doing his thing. That is why Christodoulos, they say, “exiled” him to the Saints Isidores, in a small chapel in Lycabettus. People who were next to Archbishop Christodoulos confirm this.

Lupasakis of Melbourne

Because the good… mold is never lost, the Loupasaki model – people support me and I don’t care what the rest say – is also found in Melbourne, Australia. The priest Lefteris Tatsis has been angry for almost thirty years. With the Patriarch, the Archbishops, and all the Metropolitans. First – he was punished by Archbishop Stylianos of Australia for what he did and preached, the same year that Christodoulos ordained Dimitris Loupasakis. But Father Lefteris has said everything we can think of. For Metropolitans, for the rulers, the vaccines, and the future.

And because it needs to go down in history, I gleaned it. “I have read all that will happen, in the occult books, that your teachers do not show you, I read them by the Fathers and Saint Agathangelos, a monk, 300 years ago, what they will say and what will happen. And they made fun of me for not knowing what I was talking about. I do not get this vaccine, whoever gets it, lost eternal life.”

That’s what Father Lefteris said about the vaccine, and he gives medical advice. “I don’t go to the doctors. For 52 years I’ve been drinking a spoonful of unction in the morning. These are my pills. I haven’t tested my blood pressure, my blood sugar, or my heart. I left myself to God. ” He does not deal with kangaroos, but Fr. Lefteris has always a … “good” word with the Despotes in Greece. “I had trust in some people there in Greece, and in the Metropolitans, but I not anymore. “We are civil servants, we have to get the vaccine,” they said. Aren’t you ashamed? Are you a Metropolitan, an Archbishop, and a Patriarch? Those who rule us are Pharisees.” “In Greece, you see how the Archbishops and the priests and the Metropolitans behave. Shame, having to have injected yourself to enter the church and receive the Holy Communion. That’s a shame.”

Stylianos had enough of Fr. Lefteris and now he has his eye on his successor, Makarios, and all the priests of the region where he belongs. “I was waiting for the new one to come, as my child. To find me, to tell him the truth. Who are the flatterers, who are the ones who will affect you, as they affected Stylianos”. These are the “beautiful” and “spiritual” that Fr. Lefteris says.

How will this case of devious clergy is it going to end? It is unknown. The only thing that is certain is that people are confused. From the social media, the “digital armies” of the faithful and the messages sent. And these Metropolitans who remain silent, do not support the Metropolitan of Argolida and speak only privately. Because the phenomenon does not concern anyone or the present. They have to decide how to handle all those miracle workers who “pick up” disabled people from wheelchairs and treat cancers with herbs from Mount Athos.

Those who crush science. If they do not act now or have a common line, neither of them will lose. The Church as a whole will lose.
