The most prolific Greek writer of modern times, a man who continued the Oddysey in the same verse as Homer, was ostracized and threatened with excommunication from the Orthodox church because of his book "The Last Temptation of Christ". His seeming deviation from church doctrine on his depiction of Christ cost him the Nobel Prize in Literature, due to the Orthodox and Catholic church's contempt.
Kazantzakis is my hero for challenging the deplorable and genocidal Catholic and Orthidox Churches who have both committed many crimes against humanity.
They are the history writers for now, and when have the actions of the Orthodox Church ever been taught at school? Never!
It will change and there are those of us that will expose their crimes, hypo racy at every turn!
