After retiring to his native island of Tinos for a short time, Abp. Ieronymos offered his resignation, which the [[Synod]] refused. The dissident [[bishop]]s, instead, went to court and got the whole Synod declared illegal. The bishops then formed a Synod based on the old territorial arrangement in which Ieronymos' faction was reduced to three of the ten seats.
Abp. Ieronymos retired in 1973. He reposed on [[November 15]], 1988.
