Archbishop Damianos, who is in the Sinai Monastery, has called for the Egyptian police intervention to remove them.

Symeon, speaking to Open, argued that Damianos entered the monastery in the evening with “Ten Ten Bars”, And as he complains, they allegedly broke cells and threw the monks outside the building.
“We are awkward. We stayed 12 monks outside the monastery. The police were present, we asked to get in again but we were not allowed. The arrangements are the Archbishop’s brutes, “were the words of P.
Open brought to light Documentary video from the episodes marked on the outside of Sinai Monastery On the night of Tuesday, August 26th.
Archimandrite Porphyrios Frangakos, a spokesman for the Sinai Monastery in Greece, also referred to the dramatic developments, attempting to refute the complaints.
As he said, the Archbishop had received an invitation for an “illegal assembly” of monks who, according to him, planned a change of regulations and the election of a new leader.
“It goes without saying that it has people to protect it. Were they armed? Did they be violent? I wasn’t there to see doors break, but I don’t think they would get there. The monks, when they saw that nothing could be done, went out, “he said characteristically, stressing that the Archbishop was back in place.
Even explained that Archbishop Damianos cannot be removed from monks. “The bishop is made by 12 bishops, not monks,” he noted.
