Reactions continued this week over a blasphemous quip made late last month, amid the great feast of Christmas, by LSE professor Elias Mossialos.
The impudent Tweet by the Greek academic generated a firestorm of criticism, given that he also serves as the Greek government’s representative to international organizations dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
Following condemnations by the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece, the Holy Community of Mount Athos and the Association of Theologists in Greece, several Christian societies in the greater Thessaloniki area this week called on Mossialos to apologize and seek forgiveness.
