Huge scandal in the Orthodox Church. Patriarch Daniel accuses His Eminence Theodosius of allowing plagiarized doctorates, of not paying his debts and of defying BOR

The Romanian Orthodox Church (BOR) refused His Eminence Theodosius, Archbishop of Thomis, advancement in the internal hierarchy and transformation into metropolitan by an official letter. Moreover, it includes serious accusations, such as that Theodosius allows plagiarized doctorates at the university where he teaches, that the archbishopric of Tomis does not pay its debts, but also that His Eminence Theodosius often behaved defiantly.

The transformation of the archdiocese of Tomis into a metropolis – “a personal ambition” of Theodosius
The letter obtained by G4Media states that the elevation of the archdiocese is only “a personal ambition of its diocese” and that it is not “a missionary necessity”.

In addition, it does not meet the necessary conditions provided because that would mean having “dioceses and suffragettes components”, which does not happen.

IPS Teodosie, accused of provocative attitude during the pandemic

The letter also claims that certain initiatives and actions of the archdiocese during the pandemic affected the image of BOR.

“They were accompanied by a provocative attitude, lack of pastoral tact and poor communication with the pastoral church authority and poor communication with the higher church authority, which expresses a spirit of indiscipline and rebellion,” the letter reads.

The biggest problems regarding doctoral theses

His Eminence Theodosius is a PhD supervisor at the Doctoral School of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at Ovidius University in Constanta, where he would have “the biggest problems in terms of thesis quality.”

“The National Council for Attestation of University Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates (CNATDCU) highlighted that the biggest problems, in terms of the quality of doctoral theses and scientific honesty, are found at the Doctoral School of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology (plagiarized theses, theses led by teachers who are not related to the discipline, deficiencies in writing the text, etc.) “, it is also shown in the letter.

Debts of almost half a million lei

The Archdiocese of Tomis has debts of 468,822.02 lei to the Romanian Patriarchate, outstanding since 2016, although several payment notifications have been sent.
