Fraud with a Person Posing as 'Cleric Irinaios' – Not Recognized by the Church, Says the Archbishop

The Archbishop of Cyprus has warned the faithful about a person posing as 'Cleric Irinaios' who is not recognized by the Church. Archbishop Georgios announced that the individual is operating mainly in the province of Paphos and on social media, but has no connection to the Orthodox Church. The Archbishopric urges the faithful not to be misled by the actions or representations of 'Irinaios', as any act by him has no relation to the Church of Cyprus or any other Orthodox Church. This announcement aims to protect the faithful from potential fraud or misleading practices.
