Ministry rejects appeal in Cape Greco monastery scandal
The Minister of Interior rejected the hierarchical appeal against the construction of a monastery in a protected area in Cape Greco. The Bishopric of Constantia can either appeal to the judiciary or comply and demolish the building. The Minister offered to consider exchanging church land to relocate the monastery and protect the natural environment. If the Bishopric chooses to rectify the illegalities, it must follow the terms set by the Environmental Authority.
