Considering his place in the Nestorian controversy (Though I know of no council specifically anathematizing him), I find that very interesting.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200319733737651773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280628704843419636.post-24579871794727490832010-06-28T15:09:51.025-07:002010-06-28T15:09:51.025-07:00He appears in the Romanian calendar as well, as &q...He appears in the Romanian calendar as well, as "blessed" ("fericit"), but, as far as I know, he has no office in the menaion.<br />Jerome is also called "blessed", as is Theodoretus of Cyr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280628704843419636.post-77816165108697332222010-06-25T18:05:38.833-07:002010-06-25T18:05:38.833-07:00John,
