Former Bishop of Paphos Alleges Reality Distortion

The lawyer of the former Bishop of Paphos, Tychikos, issued a statement regarding recent publications that, he claims, distort reality. According to the announcement, Tychikos no longer resides in the Metropolis but in a small room in its garden, and his salary has been reduced by 55% without a decision from the Holy Synod. The lawyer denounces a lack of respect and transparency, as well as the absence of genuine interest from the Archbishop regarding his living conditions and care. Furthermore, he points out that communication between the Archbishop and the Bishops is now taking place through press releases instead of personal or institutional invitations, which is considered contrary to ecclesiastical order. Tychikos, through his lawyer, assures that he is not seeking conflict but the restoration of truth and the unity of the Church.
