Article title[edit]

Shouldn't this article be titled Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem? It appears to be the most popular spelling, and most(if not all) pages that link to this page seem to reference him as Patriarch Theophilos

Those in favor of renaming page?;

Israel[edit]

An earlier paragraph says the Patriarch has been "critiqued" by some for being "favored" by Israel, but this allegation is neither sourced or elaborated, it's just stated. Then confusingly, later there's a whole paragraph about how Israel has refused to recognize the Patriarch's status. How can his appointment be favored by the state if it's not even recognized? And why is it not recognized in the first place? I'll do some research later when I have the time and see if I can improve this article, but if anyone happens to know for the time being I'm just bringing up this discrepency (because I came to this article in the first place to learn more about the Patriarch's relationship with Israel).

Pictorial content.[edit]

The Patriarch of Jerusalem is obviously no insignificant office, and so including three pictures seems perfectly reasonable, even/especially on English wikipedia where the Orthodox Church might be deemed an obscure subject by some. But why are two out of the three pictures of him with W? 71.234.198.222 (talk) 01:15, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added one from his official visit to Poland in 2010 Boston9 (talk) 19:35, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is he classified "Arab citizen of Israel" when he's not even an Arab?[edit]

The patriarch, while obviously having a predominantly Arab flock, isn't an Arab himself, he's Greek, he was born in southern Greece, I suggest that template be removed. Guy355 (talk) 18:13, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
