Oh, For the Peace and Joy of the Monastic Life at this Blessed Time of Year
CNN reports,
Two groups of monks clashed on Wednesday at a monastery facility in Mt. Athos, resulting in at least seven injuries, police said.Fighting broke out between a group of rebel monks occupying facilities of the 1,000-year-old monastery of Esphigmenou, and a group of legally recognized monks on the outside.
So what is this about?
Esphigmenou monastery . . . has been the scene of a long-running dispute between Orthodox Church authorities and rebel monks at Esphigmenou, who bitterly oppose efforts to improve relations between the Orthodox Church and the Vatican.
At least it's not about anything important like the Episcopalians arguing over a gay Bishop.

It is hard to imagine men wearing long robes & sandals fighting with each other.
