The Holy Diocese of Zakynthos categorically denies the reports and rumors about the alleged resignations of the Metropolitan of Zakynthos, Mr. Dionysios IV and the Metropolitan of Dodoni, Mr. Chrysostomos, according to a press release issued on Friday, November 13, 2026. As clarified, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Zakynthos has received, for health reasons, a regular sick leave from the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece. In fact, according to the instructions of his treating doctors, he is expected to return to his pastoral and administrative duties at the beginning of December, in view of the great holidays of December and January, as well as the celebration of the patron saint of Zakynthos, Agios Dionysios.

The Holy Metropolis characterizes the scenarios regarding his resignation as "absolutely untrue and devoid of any basis", while it is equally categorical regarding the information regarding the alleged resignation of the Metropolitan of Dodoni, Mr. Chrysostomos from the position of Proto-Consignor.
