Our father among the saints '''Mark of EphesusEvgenikos''' (Evgenikos; Greek: Μάρκος Ευγενικός), [[Archbishop]] of [[Ephesus]], was famous for his courageous defense of Orthodoxy at the [[Council of Florence]] (1439 A.D.) in spite of the Byzantine emperor [[John VIII Palaeologus]] and the [[pope]] of Rome Eugenius IV. He held Rome to be in [[schism]] and [[heresy]] for its acceptance of the [[Filioque|''Filioque'' clause]] added to the [[Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed]] and for the claims of the [[papacy]] to universal jurisdiction over the [[Church]], and was thus the only Eastern [[bishop]] to refuse to sign the decrees of the council.
Sometimes he is called "the conscience of Orthodoxy."
