Comment
In the second and third paragraph you can read:
- appoint Metr. Athenagoras to the position of Archbishop of North and South America...
- dissension between Royalists and Venizelists who had virtually divided the country...
- in the personal airplane of the American president Harry Truman...
Giving to the reader the impression that the writer doesn't know the difference between the Americas and the U.S.A.
I would fix it myself, but I don't know a word about the life of this guy... --euyyn 21:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Who where the Royalists and the Venizelists?
It seems that there's no info in wikipedia about them: Royalists Venizelists --euyyn 21:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- They were two political groups in early 20th c. Greece. The Venizelists were partisans of Eleftherios Venizelos, the prime minister of Greece, while the Royalists supported rule by the Greek monarchy. —Preost talk contribs 03:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

circumstances of his election and acceptance by turkish authorities
there is something i don't understand: the turks allow only ethnic greeks with turkish citizenship by birth to become patriarch. athenagoras was born in epirus, when it was still ottoman - is this the reason, why he was accepted a turkish citizen by birth?? and then, patriarch constantins VI. election was not accepted by the turks and he was expelled because they considered him a subject to the population-exchange as he was from outside istanbul (see http://www.turkishweekly.net/articles.php?id=86). why did they accept athenagoras who had much less "connection" with turkey? maybe somebody with competence can explain. --Severino (talk) 16:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Age
If he was born on 8 September 1914(1914-09-08) and died on July 7, 1972 he would not be (aged 86) as the page says...he would be 57.
