According to Christos Yannaras: "The Synod excommunicated [Makrakis] to silence him, invoking ludicrous theological arguments, such as his views on the tripartite composition of man. When he died, however, the Synod agreed to give him a church funeral" ''Orthodoxy and the West'', p. 224. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] 15:08, September 11, 2008 (UTC)

It is also a matter of the history of the Greek church in the 19th century!
