Cyril II of Constantinople (Greek:Κύριλλος Κονταρῆς; died June 1640) was three-timeEcumenical Patriarch of Constantinople (1633, 1635–1636, 1638–1639).[1] He was fromVeroia, coming toConstantinople in 1618.[2]
Cyril I's popularity among high clergy made leadership more difficult for Cyril II, who had to contend with their undermining of his authority.[3]
Though recognized as a true Patriarch,[4] he made a Catholic profession of faith.[5]
