His All-Holiness Patriarch Demetrius I (Greek: Πατριάρχης Δημήτριος Α', Dimitrios or Demetrios I), known to the world as Demetrios Papadopoulos of Panagiotis, was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1972 to 1991. In 1987, he traveled to Rome where he was received by Pope John Paul II. At a solemn ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica, the Patriarchs of East and West together recited, in Greek, the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of the Church as originally expressed without the filioque. He died in Constantinople on October 2, 1991, and his successor, Bartholomew I was elected 20 days later.
