| | The supreme authority of the Serbian Church, the Holy Synod, is composed of all its bishops, who meet once a year in May. There is also a standing Synod of four members who administer the day-to-day affairs of the church, which is estimated to number some nine million faithful. | | | This period of so called "Phanariots" was a period of great spiritual decline because the Greek bishops had very little understanding for their Serbian flock. | | | It was only after 1989 that the position of the Church has became tolerable, although the Church estastes have not yet been returned to their lawful owners. |

| | The authoritative "Canons of the Orthodox Church" by the Serbian Bishop Nikodim Milas (1845-1915), state that a saint can be declared only "if marks of prophecy and miracle-making were apparent in the deeds of this person, or if their body after death gave out signs of sanctity" (Milas, 1905/1999). | | | The parallel drawn between Velimirovic's anti-Semitic work and the words of the Bible, in the context of the recent polemic, also removes the bishop's controversial statements about Jews from their ideological roots in the political culture of the 1930s and links them to the "eternal truth" believed to be contained in the scriptures. | | | In voicing his commitment to "canonical principles" the patriarch was effectively reminding the council that, contrary to popular belief, canonization in the Orthodox Church was more than the ratification of a religious cult. |
