:"This is why we receive all [[heretic]]s turning to Orthodoxy as those who were not baptized properly as not having been baptized and without any hesitation baptize them according to the apostolic and conciliar [[canon]]s upon which the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ — the common mother of us all — firmly rests."

In 1749, Patr. Cyril issued a decree establishing a school near the [[Vatopedi Monastery (Athos)|Monastery of Vatopedi]] on [[Mount Athos]]. The school was established to teach theology, philosophy, and logic to the [[monk]]s and to those wishing to become monks. The school later became known as the ''[[Athonias Ecclesiastical Academy]]'' under the guidance of the eminent theologian and scholar [[Eugenios Voulgaris]] who was appointed [[dean]] in 1753. After many tribulations over the centuries, the academy continues to function today.
