Archbishop Iakob: Specific parties want to come to power and look how they are treating the church - let them take a good look at where the power is

Specific parties want to come to power and look how they are treating the church, - Bodbe Archbishop Iakob said during his sermon.

He responded to the reception and blessing of football player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia by the Patriarch.

According to him, it is a shame when "losers" assault the Patriarch.

"I believe that Georgia will not follow the path of evil. May God reconcile the Georgian nation. If we don't reconcile, there will be this kind of things happening all the time. When something happens, they say they are Russians. Well, look, are they normal? Specific parties want to come to power and look how they are treating the church, how some people refer to the Patriarch. Is it their business, who will come to the Patriarch? May God make Khvicha Kvaratskhali a great football player, we enjoy watching him. It's just a shame that some losers talk like that. They want to come to power, but who will let them after such a behavior? Let them take a good look at where the power is", Archbishop Iakob said.
