Nationality	Syrian
Occupation	Clergyman

Methodius (1771–1850) was Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch (May 25, 1823 – July 6, 1850). Little is known of Patriarch Methodius' life. In May 1848, Methodius was a signatory, with the patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, and Jerusalem, of an encyclical to the Church responding to the "Epistle to the Easterns" by Pope Pius IX. The encyclical^[1] denounced the Filioque added by Rome to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed as a heresy, censured the papacy for missionizing among Orthodox Christians, and repudiated Ultramontanism (papal supremacy).
