Controversies in the Trial of the Abbey of Abbacum
September 9, 2024
Former monk's lawyer, George Stylianou, stated that there are numerous contradictions in the evidence presented in the trial of the monks from the Abbey of Abbacum. He pointed out that he was not provided with crucial documents for their defense, purportedly to protect the church's reputation. Stylianou left the proceedings, claiming it was an unfair trial, resembling a farce of 'We are the priests, we are the judges.' He suggested that the outcome of the trial appeared to be predetermined.
