Neophytus VI of Constantinople - OrthodoxWiki Neophytus VI of Constantinople From OrthodoxWiki Revision as of 01:44, January 11, 2010 by Wsk (talk | contribs) (link) (diff) ← Older revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) Jump to: navigation, search Neophytus VI was Patriarch of Constantinople for two periods during the middle of the eighteenth century: from 1734 to 1740 and from 1743 to 1744. Neophytus was born in Patmos, but after that we know nothing about his life until he was installed Metropolitan of Caesaria. His election to the patriarchal throne was aided by the Sultan's translator, Alex. Gkikas. In 1740, he was deposed and succeeded by Paisius II, but returned to the patriarchal throne in 1743. He was again replaced by Paisius II in 1744, after which he returned to Patmos. He probably received his positions as patriarch as a result of the intrigues that surrounded the patriarchate during the era of the Ottoman rule of Constantinople. He was noted as not seemingly interested in ecclesiastical issues during his terms as patriarch. He reposed on Patmos in 1747. Succession box: Neophytus VI of Constantinople Preceded by: ?
