Cyprus Mail<\/a> covers interesting commentary from the archbishop Chrysostomos II:<\/p>\n

Asked if he would consider backing left-wing AKEL’s candidate Stavros Malas \u2013 the Archbishop has openly spoken out against the government\u2019s communist approach \u2013 Chrysostomos said, “They have plenty of supporters; they don\u2019t need me; although they may have reduced in numbers now”.<\/p>\n

Pressed further if he would ever back a left-wing president, provided they had the same views, the Archbishop replied: “I would even back a black man, if we had the same views.<\/strong>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d have to agree with AKEL here:<\/p>\n

The statement was not well received by ruling party AKEL, which last night announced it was disappointed with the archbishop\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n

The party said it was of the impression that the head of the church should view all members of the flock equally, “whether they are right-wing, left-wing, black or white”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That should be true for everyone, but especially so for the religious person, who’s lord created everyone equal.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
