A Defense of Papoulakos


During his lifetime in the 19th century Papoulakos was a controversial figure and was persecuted and misunderstood by the Church of Greece which he faithfully served. Sadly there are still some clergy today who maintain that Papoulakos is still a controversial figure who should not be as honored as he is. An excellent 13-page defense of Papoulakos was written by Metropolitan Epiphanios of Thera which fully justifies the sanctity of Papoulakos and why he is worthy of honor.
