lol! 

I agree with all of you, but what you must be aware of is, that recently,
the christianity and church in Greece lost alot of power and prestige, due to the fact of multiple apocalyptic scandals caused by priests (Billion $ savings, connections with criminals-helping their work etc.)

This made the whole church loose alot of power, and this case could be just an attempt to gain some of the respect-power back, by pointing out other things in order to make people pay less attention to them(trully ridiculous either way)

This has been the major subject in our news for like ,more than a month now..

For all you living in the land of freekdom, maybe i should remind you the case of Mike Diana,


In 1994, underground cartoonist Mike Diana was thrown in jail for 4 days without bail on obscenity charges, for publishing, advertising, and selling his zine BOILED ANGEL. Mike was on probation for 3 years, terms of which included fines of $3000, no contact with children under 18 (or within 10 feet of a minor), 1280 hours of community service, maintain full time employment, and at his expense, see a psychiatrist and take journalism courses at his own expense; AND no drawing for his own personal use... his home was subject to unannounced searches by local police to make sure he was complying. Mike Diana is now serving another 2 years of probation, including $2000 in fines, and the same probationary terms.

On June 4, 1996, a ruling issued by Largo, Florida, Circuit Judge Douglas Baird declared Mike Diana's zines, Boiled Angel #7 and #ATE as obscene. The judge emphasized throughout Mike's ruling that he personally found Diana's comics "patently offensive." Referring to Diana as "the appellant," and stated, "The evident goal of the appellant's publication is to portray shocking and graphic pictures of sexual conduct so it will be noticed. If the message is about victimization and that horrible things are happening in our society, as the appellant alleges, the appellant SHOULD HAVE created a vehicle to send his message that was not obscene."
