Father Domadius: The Coptic Orthodox Church punishes the Egyptian monk with a one-year suspension The Coptic Orthodox Church punished Father Domadius Habib Ibrahim by continuing to suspend him from priestly work and subjecting him to follow-up for a year due to what it described as his undesirable behavior and threatened to withdraw his priestly rank if he violated the terms of his sentence. Interpretations conflicted in explaining the church’s statement, and some opinions attributed the reason to Father Domadius’s condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and those with him in the Iranian presidential plane crash and to his previous visit to the Iranian city of Mashhad and his talk about the similarity between Jesus Christ and Imam Hussein. For his part, Father Domadius responded to these criticisms and said that some of them were taken out of context and others were incorrect. #BBC_Trending For more videos, visit our page: https://www.bbc.com/arabic/media/video Subscribe to the BBC: http://bit.ly/BBCNewsArabic
