⛪️Respect My Condition — Tychikos Clarifies After Lawyer's Remarks
Lawyer Evaggelia Poulá urged the Archbishop to sign a confession of faith, alleging he strayed from Orthodox doctrine. Giannis Antoniadis, theologian and archiepiscopal collaborator: "Better to refrain from comment; the debate risks absurdity." Tychikos issues written reply: "Ms Poulá speaks for herself, not me. Respect my health, affected by this ecclesiastical crisis. I am represented in Cyprus by other lawyers and will return next week. Do not judge or speak for me." The Holy Synod insists he must sign the confession and repudiate the breakaways; the Ecumenical Patriarchate supports that decision.
