Two Passings

  •  Archbishop George Cardinal Pell- A man of great personal sanctity who endured such abuse for his faith that if I were still Catholic, I would be tempted to label him a Confessor.
  • His Hellenic Majesty Constantine II (XIII by some reckonings)- The last King of Greece who was supplanted by a military coup and dictatorship. To the best of my knowledge, he was also the last Orthodox Christian monarch.

Haile Silase I of Ethiopia was the last Orthodox Christian monarch.

I think Haile Selassie was non-Chalcedonian (OO).
