The majority of the Eritrean people who live abroad (as people inside the country are too scary for their lives), the Catholic Church and many other churches, accept the 3rd Patriarch Abune Anotious as the legal and only patriarch of the church.
Abune Antonious
Abune Dioscoros
Abune Dioscoros is the real Patriarch. who was selected by Synod.
ReplyDeleteDeposition without legitimate cause is simply rebellion. The Holy Synod cannot just depose the Patriarch on a whim.

ReplyDeleteWith due respect the church cannot have two heads (Patriarchs) One is legal and the other is illegal or unlawful. So, the cannon of the church are clear on this matter and by the testimony of all the heads of the oriental churches Abune Antonios is the legal patriarch. But as we know with the political support of the Gov of Eritrea the legal one is in the house arrest and the illegal one is administrating. God will judge the Gov. for persecuting the innocent patriarch.
