Holy Phanar, that's amazing!

I feel bad for all the polemicists who can't use that clip of Pat. Bartholomew meeting St. Paisios, now.

It's something of a tradition now that patriarchs support the glorification of saints that predicted their eventual enthronement. It was reportedly the case with Patriarch Athenagoras and St. Nektarios, too. I sometimes wonder if it was God's way of raising a saint to glory who otherwise may not have been officially recognized.

If you manage to get me elected to a patriarchate, I will canonise you.
