Minorities report in Egypt : A threat to the unity of Orthodox Church

First read the Arabic original version of Al-Arabyanet essay and its English translation also you can find the interview of Priest Maximos in the daily "El-masri El-Youm"

as you see the Priest of the El-Moktam Church Maximos decided to make another Orthodox Church parallel to the original Orthodox Church in Egypt which is led by Pope Shounda who is very ill and being treated in the United States with the speculations of his departure . This means a split in the rows of the oldest churches in the Christian world and a split in the rows of the largest minorities in Egypt . A dangerous step no one dared to take yet it is not the first in the Egyptian modern history and the history of Egyptian Church ,I believe UK tried the same policy lucky for us that the "Divide Conquer policy" made the Egyptian Copts then realised the real enemy

Maximos already is not backed up by England this time but worst by the American Administration which forced the Egyptian regime to recognise despite the Egyptian Orthodox Church objections. Already Maximos broke all the rules of the Church starting with being married himself despite being a priest and second allowing for divorce in his Church despite that Divorce is prohibited in the Original Church of Alexandria a.k.a the Orthodox Church . Already Maximos attacks Pope Shounda and the Church , saying that his new church will amend lots of the cons of the Old Orthodox Church on all levels and Confront Pope Shounda !!

Rudely he says that this is no a pope's isolation attempt as the decision of establishing this church was taken before the illness of the Pope and that there is no chance for the Pope 's isolation as already he is severely sick

That what I am scared to happen with Pope Shounda's absence ,yet I am glad at the same because such acts will show the Egyptian Christians the reality of those who depend upon in the United States . Already I blame the Egyptian regime to permit such Church and priest to operate as they want in Egypt in the first place

Anyway I believe in the Orthodox People's loyalty in Egypt to the Church of Alexandria and Egypt too

P.S : Nothing is mentioned in Copts United !!
