The attack occurred during a Disciplinary session against a 36-year-old priest, according to police.
Three bishops are being treated in hospital by the burns they suffered, mostly in the face, reports the BBC, translating Periscopi.
A policeman who ran to help the bishops was also taken to the hospital.
The suspect, the priest who risks being expelled from the church, was accused of being involved in drug trafficking.
Bishops met to discuss his expulsion after allegedly having had 1.8 grams of cocaine with him in June 2018.
Greek Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias visited the victims at the hospital and said one would be transferred for plastic surgery.
Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulos condemned the attack, while Prime Minister Mitsotakis spoke with the head of the Greek Church to say he felt very sad. /Periscope
