Mickey Mouse is a demon says controversial cleric

Mickey Mouse is a demon that has come to suck in Christian children, bishop of Morphou Neofytos said in a recent lecture that has cause a social media storm.

Speaking about child rearing, the controversial bishop said making women go to work is pulling them away from their families and taking them away from their children at crucial ages.

He said that women are bringing their children to nurseries, where they are being fed with cartoons and monsters resembling demons.

“If you ask saints looking down at demons [from heaven], they [the saints] would say they [the demons] are like Mickey Mouse,” he told a room of people, who brought children as well to the lecture.

On raising boys, he said that little boys require their fathers the most after the age of ten, to teach them masculinity.  

Commenting further on the state of youth, the bishop said that even young people that want to make their hair spikey with products are trying to imitate demons.

Regarding weddings and sexual relations, Neofytos said that being married allows for people to have sexual relations and being single means that sex is a sin.

He used lude words in Greek to describe this theory of marriage and sex, which have made the rounds on social media in Cyprus.

The bishop also said that homosexuality, prostitution, and abortion are sins that push angels away and bring demons.

His comments have been made into a parody on social media, showing Mickey Mouse as a demon, and highlights that include that sex in marriage is a blessed action.
