Power floats away

The Greek Church is still not legally separated from the Greek state and is on its payroll. But after high-profile corruption scandals in the ranks of bishops, the Greek government is pursuing a policy of gradual separation of the church. Not long ago it announced that it does not intend to be guided by the opinion of the church in its foreign policy. Now here is the law on temples. From now on, a request to build a mosque or synagogue must be submitted directly to the Ministry of Education and Religion.
