It turns out that the monks there are not without a website, and they are trying to make their case on it, and indeed, it does appear that they are being ousted from their monastery of 1500 years... They have pics of monks there who are over a hundred years old, who have spent 80 years there [if I remember it right]... Throwing them onto the streets of Athens in an eviction procedure seems harsh, and on what grounds?

It is an ugly business...

And I cannot help but feel that all is not what it appears...
