CWN Editor's Note: Patriarch Ilia II , 90, recently celebrated his 45th anniversary as Catholicos-Patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Georgia (CNEWA profile).

Following his apostolic journey to Georgia in 2016, Pope Francis said of Patriarch Ilia II, “He is a man of God; this man moved me. The times that I met him, I came away deeply moved, and with the feeling of having found a man of God. Truly, a man of God.”
