Patriarch Diodoros of Jerusalem

Diodoros or Diodorus Greek: Διόδωρος; born Damianos G. Karivalis Greek: Δαμιανός Γ. Καρίβαλης (14 August 1923 – 20 December 2000) was the Patriarch of Jerusalem in the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem from 1980 to 2000.

[2] His time in office had some controversies, mainly due to his lack of fluent Arabic and reports of sales and long-term leases of church properties.

[3] He met Pope John Paul II in early 2000;[4] in December 2000 he died in Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, of complications linked to diabetes.

At the time of his death, there were fewer than 100,000 Greek Orthodox Christians across Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territories.
