Ο ΥΠΟΤΑΚΤΙΚΟΣ ΤΟΥ  ΔΙΑΒΟΛΟΥ - THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE

ΕΠΙΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΚΑΣΤΟΡΙΑΣ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΟΣ ΚΑΡΑΒΑΓΓΕΛΗΣ


  The leaders of the Greek Orthodox Church were the most crazed supporters of the Greek state's plan to eliminate the Bulgarian element from Macedonia. This allegiance to a program of human genocide is typified by the actions of the Metropolitan Bishop Germanos Karavangelis.
    Information on Karavangelis's psychotic behaviour is available directly from his very own autobiography "Pinelopa Delta", published in 1959 by the Salonica Institute for Studies. In that work we note the following (and many more) admissions and comments by Karavangelis

  He was the first and most fervent champion of the emergence of the andarts'(Greek cut-throats, murderers etc) movement in Macedonia.For seven years (1900-1907), as Metropolitan Bishop of Kostur, he maintained the slogan "let no Bulgarian remain alive".

  Together with Vardas, a Greek army officer, he inspired and helped organise the massacres at Zeleniche (Lerin) and Zagorichane (Kostur). Massacres which shocked the international community by the level of depravity and sadism which occurred.

  Karavangelis regularly used assassins to eliminate people he had pre-selected. These killers were paid 5 pounds by Karavangelis, on delivery of the person's severed head. So proud was Karavangelis of his actions, that he had one of these "trophies" photographed and displayed in his office.

  As the level of andart activity increased, he writes in his autobiography "I kept regular contact with them through the consulate in Bitola and the Metropolitan bishops. I personally met them and instructed them to kill all priests and Bulgarian teachers."

  It is surprising that the Greek Church has not sought to canonise Karavangelis for his unserving duty to God and country. But then perhaps they already have.
