Head of Alexandria Church: My clerics were paid $200 for joining the ROC
Patriarch Theodore complained that the Church of Alexandria is very poor and has no treasures, only poverty and destitution.
Patriarch Theodore of Alexandria revealed that his clerics were paid $200 each for switching to the ROC Exarchate in Africa, as reported by the Pemptousia publication.
In an interview with the journalist from "Pemptousia," Patriarch Theodore lamented that the Church of Alexandria is very poor, stating, "We have no treasures or anything, only poverty and destitution."
"And yet they came, bribed our clergy with two hundred dollars so that they would sign the documents, leave our patriarchate, and join the Moscow Patriarchate," he said.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that, according to Metropolitan Leonid, a former ROC Exarch for Africa, the schismatic Theodore would sign an act of capitulation for the Orthodox Church of Alexandria.
