Anger in the Greek Orthodox Church over the government's demonic decision to legalize same-sex marriage has intensified, as clerics have demanded punitive measures against MPs who supported the law, writes "The Guardian".

The clerics have called for "immoral legislators to be expelled from the church".

Church authorities in Corfu have announced that two local MPs will be banned from participating in any religious rites.

Accusing MPs of committing the "deepest spiritual and moral error" by supporting the bill on February 15, the island's diocese called on MPs to repent.

"For us, these two deputies cannot be considered active members of the Church. We urge them to repent of their misbehavior, otherwise the legislators would be automatically excluded from the Christian rite of communion and other church events,” a note said.

Greece became the first Orthodox Christian country in the world to pass legislation allowing same-sex marriage when 175 parliamentarians from across the political spectrum voted in favor of the reform last month.

Backed by centre-right Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the law extended recognition of parental rights to gay couples.

But Mitsotakis faced harsh criticism from the Orthodox Church.

Greece's spiritual leader, Archbishop Ieronymos, considered a moderate in a church hierarchy that had described the bill as "pure evil", suggested the vote be put ahead of a popular referendum across the nation.

Prominent church figures had argued that the law would lead to same-sex couples seeking other rights, even the dissolution of the Greek family and society.
