St. Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain
Recent addition removed as it contradicts and to some extent repeats information in preceding paragraph regarding alleged Catholic influences on St. Nicodemus’ writings. The two sources offered in support do not appear to be specialized scholarship, and if they are need to be contextualized or related to the newer commentary in recent editions and translations cited above.

On the contrary. Metropolitan [[Kallistos Ware]] wrote this in an article on St Nicodemus, and it is included in a book edited by Graham Speaks, who "studied classics at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was awarded a doctorate by the University of Oxford for a thesis on the Byzantine transmission of ancient Greek literature. He is the founder and Chairman of the Friends of Mount Athos and author of ''Mount Athos: Renewal in Paradise'' (2nd edn., 2014), for which he was awarded the Criticos Prize. He is also a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London.' The other source was Christos Yannaras, the premier a leading theologian in the Church of Greece, snd it was from his book specifically addressed to the problem of Western influence on Orthodoxy. You need to do better than that to simply remove sourced material you don't agree with. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] ([[User talk:Fr Lev|talk]]) 12:44, July 15, 2018 (UTC)
Until you have demonstrable evidence that Speaker and Yanaras are factually incorrect, you ned to leave both sides in the article. I did not remove your claims to the contrary. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] ([[User talk:Fr Lev|talk]]) 12:47, July 15, 2018 (UTC)
