Head Of Greek Ortohodox Church Denies Having Criticized LORDI

August 7, 2006

NewsRoom Finland reports that Archbishop Christodoulos, the head of the Ortohodox Church in Greece, denied having criticized Finnish Eurovision winner LORDI, provincial daily Savon Sanomat reported Saturday.

The archbishop denied having criticized LORDI and said the news item on the matter was nonsense. "It is common in Greece to put the strangest comments into the mouth of the archbishop," Archbishop Christodoulos said according to the paper.

It was reported after the Eurovision Song Contest in May that the archbishop had strongly condemned the Finnish monster band.

Archbishop Christodoulos arrived in Finland Friday for an official visit on the invitation of Finland's orthodox Archbishop Leo.
