	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christian Athens
		Thus in Athens the shrine of the healer Asklepios, situated between the two theatres on the south side of the Akropolis, when it became a church, was made sacred to the two saints whom the Christian Athenians invoked as miraculous healers, Kosmas and Damian.

		During the Frankish rule the archbishops of Athens were without exception of the Latin Rite, and were of Western lineage.

	Archbishop Damaskinos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Archbishop Damaskinos Papandreou (March 3, 1891-May 20, 1949) was the archbishop of Athens from 1941 until his death.
		After the 1941 German invasion of Greece and the fall of the Greek government, the Metropolitans who had elected Damaskinos seized the opportunity to eject Chrisanthos from the throne (with German agreement, as the latter had refused to be present at the oath-taking ceremony of the Quisling Prime Minister Georgios Tsolakoglu), and Damaskinos was reinstalled.
		The Archbishop of Athens was the spiritual leader of the Greek Orthodox people of Athens, and Damaskinos worked very hard to live up to his position during those hard times.

		The visit paid by Archbishop Christodoulos to the Church of Russia had two objectives: first, to establish the Greek Primate as an intermediary between Rome and Moscow and, second, to advance relations between the Greek and Russian Churches.
		Archbishop Christodoulos’; second objective was to achieve closer relations with Moscow, so that the two churches could appear jointly as the primary forces in the Orthodox world.
		However, it was de facto obliged to receive the Archbishop of Athens as of equal rank, since he holds the “keys of Europe” that Patriarch Alexios so desperately needs.

	[MGSA-L] ARCHBISHOP AND JEWS
		He waged a stubborn and protracted struggle against the Greek government’s implementation of EU requirements to abolish religious categories in new IDs; in fact, the Church’s opposition was so strident that it even demanded a referendum on the subject and staged demonstrations and sit-downs.
		However, instead of a “few words,” the Archbishop’s speech lasted over a half hour, and I was shocked to hear him, at one point, blaming Jews in very stern terms for Christ’s crucifixion.
		What is most regrettable is that it contravenes the Church’s own history, for, under the leadership of Archbishop Damaskinos, who was Archbishop of Athens during the German occupation, the Greek Church defied the Nazis and offered protection and assistance to Jews in order to save them from extermination.

		Archbishop Christodoulos of Athens, the head of Greece’s Orthodox Church, has urged Christians of different denominations to step up cooperation in the face of growing secularism in Western society.
		Last October the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, commended secularity (neutrality in public life)as a necessity for enabling believers and non-believers to maintain a plural society.
		He drew a distinction between a secularity that seeks to create “a culture of questioning and negotiation” among different communities, and a “dominant secularism” which denies any legitimate role for religion as a component of some people’s public identity.
