Justus XI

His Holiness, Arch-Patriarch Justus XI (born Frangiskos Pneumadoulos) is the first and current Arch-Patriarch of the Aurorian Patriarchal Church. An early champion of the cause of Aurorian Patriarchal reunion, then-Archbishop Pneumadoulos served as the Theognosian Arch-Patriarch's Apostolic Delegate to Selucian Patriarchal Egelion, where his cordial relationships with the local hierarchy convinced him of the viability of a reunion. His election as Arch-Patriarch following the Second Council of Auroria was seen by many to be a compromise between the two Churches as the new Arch-Patriarch was a Theognosian, but not of the main Theognosian rite, belonging to the Augustan Church.

His diplomatic reputation has led many to expect that the new Arch-Patriarch will seek to bring the Churches together as a conciliator. He himself has confirmed that his choice of the name Justus XI, after the Selucian Arch-Patriarch St. Justus III, was deliberately made to stress his wish to be an Arch-Patriarch for all the Faithful.
