"The Patriarch was silenced… that Sunday he was supposed to preach to the Patriarch and skipped" – Dorothe Kurashvili

Two weeks earlier, Shio the Third preached, and as reported, it concerned casinos; he said that money obtained through sin would destroy the country. At the same time, he said that whoever helps to obtain money through this sin commits an even greater sin. [During the sermon] Mikheil Kavelashvili stood beside him. Let this be the Sunday sermon, and the next morning, on Monday, Mikheil Kavelashvili signed this bill. [It concerns the law that imposes tax benefits on casinos for organising international tournaments].
