Church should punish gluttony

In response to the story: ‘No to illegal bird-trapping in Cyprus’:

Yes, ambelopoulia is a culinary tradition. But relatively few are profiteering from it (poachers, owners of tavernas) to the detriment of the majority. The main culprits are the gourmet patrons and caterers. They are commiting the sin of gluttony, and should be punished by the Church.

Cyprus Mail website

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
