As with any disaster, humans regularly turn to God for help and it seems the Greek government is no different
The Greek Orthodox church – Greece's second largest landowner after the government – has come under fire for not paying enough in taxes on its assets.
One group to join the protests in Athens against austerity measures is Make the Church Pay. Its members are fed-up with the inadequacy of the church administration to support their country in its hour of need. A similar Facebook group – Tax the Church – has 100,000 supporters.
"They simply don't pay. They are so rich, and yet their contribution is minimal," says Theodora, one of the protesters. |
