Catholicos Patriarch of Georgia has been requested to resign and rest, - a scandalous statement was made by Metropolitan of Poti and Khobi Grigol.

Recently, a member of the Holy Synod visited Matrosov prison where he met with detainee Mamaladze.
Archbishop Grigol does not name those who addressed the Patriarch but as he said they were not clergy.

According to Grigol, he has already said everything about this topic and does not intend to elaborate on further details.

As it has become known to the "Courier", other theologians also have information that the patriarch was asked "to go home and rest".

"What I could say was already said," said Archbishop Gregory.

As for the meeting with the detained dean of the clergy, the bishops say the details of the meeting with the father Giorgi Mamaladze will be voiced by the members of the Synod.
