Status of the Decision Regarding Former Metropolitan Tychikos and Archbishop's Role
June 5, 2025
The decision of the Holy Synod regarding the dismissal of the former Paphos Metropolitan Tychikos remains in effect, as announced by Archbishop Georgios. It is noted that only penalties related to deposition or excommunication can justify a suspension of the penalty. The Archbishop continues as the caretaker of the Paphos Metropolitan See, while the process of filling the throne is delayed for at least six months due to Tychikos's appeal to the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
