Patriarch Paul of Alexandria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
6th-century Greek patriarch of Alexandria

Patriarch Paul of Alexandria orPaul of Tabennesis wasGreek Patriarch of Alexandria between 537 and 542.

He was elected Patriarch in 537 when theGreek Church of Alexandria, which had previously recognized theMiaphysiteTheodosius I, then exiledGainas. He was the firstChalcedonian to be elected Patriarch since 482. He was deposed by the Synod of Gaza, but later reinstated.[1] This election was the final split between theMiaphysite andOrthodox lineage, which lasts until today.

According toProcopius, whenJustinian made Paul patriarch, he gave him authority over thepraefectus Aegypyi, Rhodon. As patriarch, Paul's first act was to have Psoes, aMiaphysite deacon who wrote inCoptic and was a thorn in the government's side, delivered to Rhodon to be tortured to death. The people of Alexandria revolted in fury, and to pacify them Justinian recalled Rhodon and executed him inConstantinople for his role in the martyrdom of Psoes, despite having previously send thirteen dispatches ordering Rhodon to obey Paul. The next governor of Egypt,Liberius, crucified a man named Arsenius who was instrumental in Psoes’ torture and death, avenging Psoes.[2]
