Gregory of Cappadocia

Gregory of Cappadocia

Gregory of Cappadocia served as Patriarch of Alexandria (head of the church that became the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Greek Church of Alexandria) between 339 and 346. Arian, he was enthroned during one of the exiles of Athanasius I from Alexandria. It must be noted though, that most in the Eastern Orthodox Church of Alexandria and Coptic Church deny his papacy and say that Athanasius I was the true patriarch.
