Why was Bishop replaced?

[Livindesert]

Why was Bishop Judah Kyriakos replaced after the Jewish Roman war?

 

[ProScribe]

Most likely he was ready to retire. Unless the Patriarch relieved him of his duties. I don't know agnostic maybe?

 

[Kristos]

he married a harlot?

 

[Macarius]

What source mentions him, and does that source give or imply any reason?

 

[Livindesert]

All I can find on him is this
Judah Kyriakos

 

[Livindesert]

I am interested in this Bishop since he was supposedly the last Bishop of Jerusalem with family ties to Jesus. Seems like their would be more info on him.

 

[Gregorios]

And I found this..Judas Cyriacus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 9x out of 10, look for the Saints Latin name as opposed to his Greek and you'll find more info.

Judah Kyriakos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure they are the same person with different spellings. If talking about this one, probably has to do with his city being sacked and/or destroyed by Titus.

 

[Gregorios]

The local tradition of Ancona has identified this saint with the jew named Judas Quiriacus or Kyriakos. They are the same person according to Orthodox tradition.

There was no Jerusalem after 132 a.d. The romans rebuilt the city as a roman military colony naming it Aelia Capotolina. Before that Jerusalem laid in ruins since 70 a.d. After the seige in 135 a.d. the jews were sold into slavery and the rest were forbidden to enter the new city. Jersusalem became a quintessential gentile city.

The Wiki article on Judah of Ancona says that the two are not the same person, and that Judas Kyriakos of Jerusalem was killed during a riot.

According to Hegesipus the jewish -christian historian writing in 160 a.d. and the man Eusebius would have quoted from, none of the kindred of the Lord lived past the reign of Trajan
