pocket_church_history.htm Traditional Orthodox also hope for the various Christian bodies to be united, but we believe that authentic reunification can occur only when Christians who have split away from Orthodoxy for one reason or another are reunited with Her, and profess again the original faith of their fathers. Orthodox feel they have more common ground with the Monophysites than with any other separated Christians, but as long as fully half of the Ecumenical Councils are rejected, there can be no real unity. Orthodox missionaries were often successful precisely because they did not employ the coercive tactics other Christians of that era too often favored. www.fatheralexander.org /booklets/english/pocket_church_history.htm   (18850 words)

AthensNews onLine SEARCH Similar to Voridis', Karatzaferis' party, the Popular Orthodox rally, is pushing an anti-immigration agenda. MAKIS Voridis, leader of Greece's ultranationalist Hellenic Front, which won next to no support at the ballot box four years ago, is anticipating an increase in popular support on March 7. But despite the growing success of the far-right across Europe, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to claw his way up from the bottom of the polls. www.athensnews.gr /athweb/nathens.print_unique?e=C&f=13056&m=A04&aa=3&eidos=S   (578 words)

Dar Al Hayat The demonstration was organized by the ultra-nationalist Popular Orthodox Rally, also known as L.A.O.S, led by right-wing politician Giorgos Karatzaferis, who is accused of harboring strongly anti-Semitic views. More than 2,500 people gathered under a statue of Alexander the Great in the northern Greek port city of Thessaloniki Sunday to protest against the U.S. government's decision last week to formally recognize Macedonia under that name, despite Greek objections. Karatzaferis won a single seat at the European Parliament election last June. english.daralhayat.com /world_news/11-2004/Article-20041107-13a06060-c0a8-10ed-003a-92db366c5924/story.html   (440 words)

Greece (08/05) During the centuries of Ottoman domination, the Greek Orthodox Church preserved the Greek language and cultural identity and was an important rallying point in the struggle for independence. Greece and Turkey have unresolved disagreements regarding the Aegean, the treatment of the Orthodox Church and Greek minority in Istanbul, and the Muslim (primarily ethnic Turkish) minority in western Thrace. From 1952 to late 1963, Greece was governed by conservative parties--the Greek Rally of Marshal Alexandros Papagos and its successor, the National Radical Union (ERE) of the late Constantine Karamanlis. www.state.gov /r/pa/ei/bgn/3395.htm   (4000 words)

East European Constitutional Review But Orthodox priests have refused to vacate these churches, and it is easy to understand that the Orthodox Church believes that it deserves government support, since it supported the Christian Democrats in the 1996 elections. This institution, the Uniate Church, was formed in the eighteenth century, in then-Habsburg Transylvania, when Orthodox priests were persuaded by the regime that their acceptance of Catholicism and the authority of the Pope—while keeping the Eastern Orthodox ceremony-would earn them equal status with the Catholic Church and the Hungarian and German Protestant churches. The Orthodox tradition still argues that the synthesis of the two rites in the Uniate Church—the Byzantine and the Catholic—occurred under pressure from the Habsburg’s armies in eighteenth-century Transylvania. www.law.nyu.edu /eecr/vol7num2/feature/rulerpatriarch.html   (4075 words)

Get Christodoulos 3) Paleoconservative Yeorgos Karatzaferis, leader of the Popular Orthodox Rally party, is the only Greek politician to speak out concerning the absence of any mention of the Christian and Greco-Roman roots of Europe in the Preamble of the proposed new European Constitution. Archbishop Christodoulos was the only person in Greece with the popularity and clout to attract over one million people at each of the two demonstrations he initiated about this matter, and his was the most distinguished and trusted voice speaking out against the infringement of this right to be heard in the land. These soi disant Orthodox "leaders" are working to undermine the Greek Orthodox Church in that country, and are really nothing more than change agents for the New World Order elite they are knowingly or unknowingly serving. www.grecoreport.com /get_christodoulos.htm   (2369 words)

Athens News Agency: Daily News Bulletin in English, 05-04-08 Popular Orthodox Rally (LA.O.S) President and Eurodeputy George Karatzaferis said that ratification of the European Treaty is "a gross violation of the Greek Constitution, which is essentially nullified," during a press conference on Thursday. Popular composer Mikis Theodorakis, many of whose songs were sang by Bithikotsis, said he was Greece's greatest voice and expressed his deep sorrow over his loss.

greekworks Yet the politicization of the Greek Orthodox Church may be considered one of the most important recent developments in the country. Indeed, the condominium between Church and state in the Orthodox world has always been closer to the model of Islam than to that in the rest of the West. One of the salutary and invaluable services Michas performs in his book is to describe – not in great detail but acutely in any case – the leading role played by the Greek Orthodox hierarchy in the Greek mobilization in support of Balkan fascism. www.greekworks.com /content/index.php/weblog/extended/united_like_a_fist   (2643 words)

Antisemitism Worldwide 2002/3 - Greece At the 2002 local elections (for mayor, prefect and super-prefect) in the Greater Athens Region, the leader of the ultra-nationalist People’s Orthodox Rally (Laos), George Karatzaferis, attained 14 percent of the vote as a candidate for super-prefect. One is the traditional attitude of the Greek Orthodox Church, which unlike the Roman Catholic Church, has not yet absolved the Jews for their alleged responsibility for the death of Jesus or removed such references from its liturgy. It should be noted that although Moulatisotis is not recognized by the official Greek Orthodox Church, his monastery operates a free annual boys’ summer camp, run on proceeds from sales of his book and his other antisemitic publications. www.tau.ac.il /Anti-Semitism/asw2002-3/greece.htm   (1423 words)

-- Beliefnet.com The rally took on the character of a political event--reinforcing accusations from critics that Christodoulos is meddling in state affairs. They see it as a threat to the Christian Orthodox character of the nation and possibly the stirrings of an eventual separation of church and state in Greece. About 97 percent of Greece's native-born population of 10.5 million is baptized into the Orthodox Church, which sees itself as the true guardian of Greek identity and traditions. www.beliefnet.com /story/30/story_3011_1.html   (666 words)

The Militant - November 11, 2002 -- Greek vote registers social crisis, polarization Karatzaferis, the leader of the newly formed rightist Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS, an acronym that means "people") took almost 14 percent of the total vote. Before the elections Archbishop Chrystodoulos, the national leader of the Orthodox church, helped to confer respectability on the new party by reassuring prospective LAOS voters that they were "good Christians."

Greece upholds role as Turkey's improbable defender in Europe - EUbusiness But in a sign of the disquiet here, the Greek nationalist Popular Orthodox Rally staged a protest rally Friday, outside the Greek parliament, led by its leader George Karatzaferis, a member of the European assembly. A country which disrespects religious freedom, and dismisses the right of the Christian Orthodox Patriarch to call himself by his Ecumenical title as the representative of Europe's 250 million Christian Orthodox peoples, does not belong in Europe. According to Theodore Couloumbis, professor of international relations at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy, it is precisely this friction which, added to the traditional Greek feelings of suspicion towards their larger neighbour, feeds public reticence to see Turkey join the EU. www.eubusiness.com /East_Europe/051002020714.ojndujfk   (1448 words)

An interesting choice for speaker was Ljubco Nikolovski-Fufo, a former candidate for major of Skopje and owner of Dal Met Fu, the downtown hotel/restaurant wildly popular with the internationals.

Notes on the Atrocities Oklahoma penalties for bad checks are stiff, and are a politically popular income-generator for the District Attorney's office. The only real news is that Gephardt managed to rally the Teamsters. For writing a $12.18 check, she now faced a $114 penalty, including "victim restitution" to Wal-Mart and a fee to the D.A.

Keep Father Ian This is a tremendous blow to the parishioners of Saint Peter's, since our strongest, holiest, and most orthodox priest, Father Ian, will no longer be able to minister to us at the parish. He has helped re-ignite the faith of many parishioners, and has stood up for orthodox Catholic teaching. Unfortunately, the two pastors of Saint Peter's, Father Bud and Father Bernie, have fired him because he clashed with their theology and that they had another direction for the community. www.keepfatherian.com   (343 words)
