In his Wednesday sermon, Pope Shenouda looked tired. He warned the young generation against the abuse of internet that may result in illegal relations. The pope also congratulated President Mubārak on his birthday and prayed for the newly married Jamāl Husnī Mubārak and his wife.
In the article, a large number of bishops of the Coptic Orthodox Church have been engaging in a hidden struggle to reach the papal seat.
Bishop Kyrillos denied being subject to trial and asserted that the aim of his visit to Saint Mark’s Cathedral in ‘Abbāsīyah is to congratulate Pope Shenouda on Easter as he used to do.
A group calling themselves the “Clergy Group” handed out, on the eve of Easter, leaflets in which they accused Bishop Ammonius who has been isolated in Anbā Bīshūy Monastery, of swindling, stealing and wasting the bishopric’s money.
The conflict between Bishop Kyrillos and the six priests is still ongoing despite the interference of Pope Shenouda and his decision to return Bishop Kyrillos to his bishopric in Naj‘ Hammādī.
A group calling themselves "Free of the Coptic Church’’ distributed pamphlets condemning priests’ practices and urging Bishop Kyrillos to hold on and declare fasting and prayer amongst Copts.
Bishop Kyrillos began mobilizing all Bishop Bīshūy’s opponents including Bishop Paphnotius of Samālūt and Bishop Taklā, who was excommunicated five years previously, in order to stand against Bishop Bīshūy.
Pope Shenouda decided not to investigate Bishop Paphnotius to avoid repeating the incidents that occurred after the church decided to investigate Bishop Kyrillos.
The incident is another episode in the ongoing conflict between Bishop Kyrillos’ supporters and a number of priests who filed a complaint against him.
Pope Shenouda denies any personal conflict with George Habīb Bibāwī and asserts that Bibāwī abandoned the Coptic Orthodox Church when he joined the Russian Orthodox Church in 1984.
