"I can't imagine that a man dedicated to God insults and betrays God and abuses His creations. I wish all those not to exist but the Justice will judge it. The sooner this horrible case is solved the better. But now, I can't remain silent, nobody can. I humbly apologise to God and pray for the innocent angel" added Ieronymos.
