Concerning the new Saint Dionisie of Kolitsou
Nikolaos Mannis |
September 1, 2025
Today the Patriarchate of
Constantinople recognized the sainthood of the great Romanian Venerable Elder
Hieromonk and Spiritual Father Dionisie [Ignat] (1909–2004) of the Romanian Skete of
Saint George Kolitsou (within the boundaries of Vatopedi Monastery of Mount
Athos).
The paradox is not this
recognition (for the Patriarchate has recognized many true Saints), but the
fact that the Saint, demonstrably until the end of his life, did not
commemorate the last three successive Patriarchs Athenagoras, Demetrios, and
Bartholomew!
When his disciples asked him for
what reason he did not commemorate the patriarch, he answered: "Nu pot să
fiu în comuniune cu ceea ce nu este Ortodoxie" ("I cannot have
communion with what is not Orthodoxy").
May we have his intercessions!
