Mesrob II Mutafyan
Résumé
Archbishop Mesrob II Mutafyan (in Armenian Մեսրոպ Բ Մութաֆեան), or Mutafian, also known as Mesrop Mutafyan in Eastern Armenian transliteration (16 June 1956 – 8 March 2019), was the 84th Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople. The Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople is one of the four Sees of Armenian Apostolic Church (the other three being Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, the Holy See of Cilicia and the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem) and has an autocephalous status, accepting, on the other hand, spiritual supremacy of the Catholicos of Armenia and of all Armenians in Holy Echmiadzin.
Mesrob Mutafyan born Minas Mutafian graduated from the American High School in Kornwestheim near Stuttgart, Germany. From 1974 to 1979, he studied philosophy and sociology in Memphis, Tennessee, United States.
On 13 May 1979, he was ordained to priesthood taking the name Mesrob and was commissioned pastor of Kınalıada, one of the Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara in Istanbul with a small Armenian community. Between 1979 and 1981, he continued his theological studies in Jerusalem.
On 21 September 1986, Mesrob Mutafyan was elevated to the rank of a bishop in Echmiadzin, Armenia. From 1982 to 1990, he coordinated the ecumenical relationships of the Patriarchate. He attended the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome, Italy in 1988/1989.
In 1993, he was elevated to the rank of archbishop to serve the diocese of Princes' Islands. From 1997, Mutafyan acted as the vicar general of the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Following the death of Patriarch Karekin II Kazanjian of Constantinople, Mesrob Mutafyan was elected locum tenens on 16 March 1998 to serve as the temporary leader of the Church until an election was held. Even though the Turkish local authorities demanded Archbishop of Üsküdar Şahan Sıvaciyan, the retired longest-serving archbishop, should succeed, Mesrob Mutafyan was finally elected the 84th Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople on 14 October, 1998 and could take office.
