Constantine Paleologos

[Konstantinos]

Do any of you think Constantine Paleologos should become a saint??

 

[Matrona]

Wasn't he the one who just about sold us out to the Latins?

Well, when the time came he led the final charge against the Turks, and his head was placed on a pike for it.

I guess I don't know. I'm glad the Church is conciliar.

Definitely! In fact, I already venerate him as a saint.

He gave his life as a martyr to defend Contantinople and the Orthodox faith, even after given the chance to leave the city before the attack.

As far as I know, he never compromised his faith - everytime he pursued reunion with the West was on political (and not religious) grounds.

I sometimes ask him to intercede for me. Yes the only reason he went to the west was for military aid. which didint even work!!!! except for 2000 brave venetians.

 

[Konstantinos]

:Bump: because it is important

 

[Chaldean]

I still can't believe he isn't a saint. The man gave all of his life to defend the word of Jesus.
