Christodoulos
National Catholic Reporter, Feb 8, 2008
Archbishop Christodoulos, the 69-year-old primate of the Greek Orthodox church, died Jan. 28 in Athens after a long struggle with intestinal and liver cancer. Pope Benedict XVI called Christodoulos a "distinguished pastor" who "opened a new era of cordial cooperation" between Catholics and Orthodox. NCR readers will note that under Christodoulos the Greek Orthodox church in 2004 restored the order of diaconate for women.
