Demetrios
I also Dimitrios I or Demetrius I, born Demetrios Papadopoulos (September 8, 1914 – October 2, 1991)
was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from July 16, 1972, to October 2, 1991. Before his
election as Patriarch he served as Metropolitan
Bishop of Imvros. He was born and died in Istanbul, Turkey.
Role in ecumenism
On November 30, 1979, he
proclaimed the establishment of the official theological dialogue between the
Orthodox and the Catholic Church, at that time led by Pope John Paul II. He also met with two different Archbishops of
Canterbury.
In 1987, he travelled to the
Vatican where he was received by John Paul II. At a solemn ceremony in St. Peter's
Basilica, the Patriarchs of East and
West together recited, in Greek, the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of the
Church as originally expressed i.e. without the filioque clause.
