Bishop Neophytos of Morphou has caused another uproar after his remarks on abortion and convicted serial killer Nicos Metaxas were posted on line.
The remarks were made during the same speech he gave on June 25 in Akaki during which he claimed the men are born gay if their mothers enjoyed anal sex when they were pregnant, and said that homosexual men emitted a bad odour.
In the latest extract, the bishop said that it is hypocritical to mourn for the two children killed by convicted serial killer Nicos Metaxas at a time where there are so many abortions in Cyprus.
“You had three abortions, your own babies, and now hypocrite, you criticise Nicolas,” he asked?
He suggested that it was inevitable that a country with such a high rate of abortions would produce such a murderer. As long as abortions continue then we would have such crimes which will demonstrate our hypocrisy, he said.
The homophobic remarks have been widely criticised and and ridiculed on social media, while on Tuesday left wing Akel issued a written statement denouncing them. The party said it condemned homophobia, misogyny and mediaeval views, wherever they came from.
And it said the Holy Synod should state its position as should the state. “These opinions are not unscientific and deeply misanthropic. Some of them at least constitute hate speech,” it said adding that members of the clergy are not above the law.
