The monks of Esphigmenou Monastery have been declared an illegal brotherhood by the spiritual leader of the Greek Orthodox Church, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomeos, over a dispute regarding improving ties with the Catholic Church, which the monks vehemently oppose. In 2002 Bartholomeos ordered their eviction from the 10th-Century Mount Athos monastery but they refused to obey. Moraitis said that the eviction order delivered to them last week was aimed at having them vacate the premises so that the management of the monastic community can get its hands on the monastery’s assets. The Church doesn’t recognize the position of those inside the monastery as monks and a war of words has lingered for years between the leaders of the Greek Orthodox Church and the ultra-Orthodox self-styled monks inside the monastery.

Ah, the fruits of the Great Schism.

Wrap the building with shrink wrap and throw in a few
burritos.

Don’t cut the water off, just up the pressure to 400psi.

What is the issue between the Orthodox and the Catholic Church anyway

Athonite tradition attributes the foundation of the monastery to the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius II and his sister Pulcheria during the 5th century.

You'd think by now they'd have had that mortgage paid off.

Yet Pope Francis invited the head of the Orthodox churches to his installation as Pope and if my memory serves me correct, he had wrapped around his hand while he was in Brazil last week for WYD a prayer rope that the Orthodox use in their prayers.

Alright all you Monks hands up. Every Monk who is a Monk, punch a Monk who ain't a Monk. How do you stand in Monks hands up?
