"One should not talk roughly about belief - it does not remain unpunished," Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia said in Holy Trinity Cathedral. He said that he recently spoke about the situation between Rustavi 2 and the Church and expressed hope that these relations will be improved.

"I want to tell you that we should not be rude to religion - it"s not going to go unpunished ... We pray that all of us will succeed in our trespasses, all people who live and recognize Orthodoxy are our spiritual children and we are praying for you and hope that the relationship between the two will be improved, "said Ilia II.
