The Egyptian Church and the referendum

Did you know that the referendum was set to be in April but they had to advance the date to the 26th of March ??

because in April those brain heads in NDP chose the same date of the Eastern along with the Christian Egyptian Orthodox church celebration , they wanted a day which is already off so they won't have to choose a day and make it off for both public and private sectors , the wise asses didn't remember that the Egyptian Christians in those couple of days got some rest after a big fasting

Well another thing

Again for the second time despite all the criticism Pope Shounda the third requested well in better words ordered the Egyptian Christians following the church to participate in the referendum and of course to vote for the sake of the amendments , it is not the first time that he did something like this , it is the second after the shocking order in the presidential elections in 2006 , an act that didn't shock not only the Christians but also the Muslims like me as I always consider Pope Shounda to be wise and patriot enough not to follow the regime stupid orders . Already this order created a big debate in the Egyptian Church giving an opportunity for the opponents of the Pope from other religious men and also from secular Christians in Egypt to criticize the Pope calling for the separation of the Church and politics.

But to be fair I think the last illness of the Pope can be a factor not a misjudgment but we are all reading about the conflicts inside the Church between the holy men who want to be next Pope after the death of Pope Shounda , may be this order comes from an agreement , a specific one between the regime and certain party in the Church , I won't call it the Pope's party , but I will consider it a party that wants to win the regime acceptance
