A greek priest is accused of cutting the brake cables on a car and then later blowing it up. The reason being that he wrongly suspected the grocer of being his wifes illicit lover. Ignoring the fact that this could well be a novel by Joanne Harris there is something even more striking. And that is the response by the Greek Orthodox Church. Rather than condemning the priest, instead they have gone on record as saying what a shame it is that priests have so many problems getting a wife!
I believe in God, and as a believer it consistently amazes me that Christianity is so good at repeatedly shooting itself in the foot (or, in this case, stepping on a Molotov cocktail).
