Biography
Born in Mudania , in the Asia Minor province of Bithynia, and since 1779, he served as archdeacon to the Metropolitan of Nicea, and later to the patriarchal Cathedral of St. George at Phanar , in Constantinople .
In 1780 he was elected Metropolitan of Adrianople and consecrated as a bishop. In September 1792 he was transferred to the Metropolitan of Nicaea .
Patriarchate
June 17, 1801 was elected to the Patriarchal Department of Constantinople. Contradictory information was preserved about him: the Greek historian Comnenus Ypsilantis speaks of him as a simple and uneducated person, another historian Kuma considers him undefined in his moral qualities, and the compiler of the catalog of the Constantinople patriarchs Zaharia Mata claims that Patriarch Kallinik was a pampered and loved a man of peace, but at the same time intelligent, uncomplicated and compassionate.
During the period of his patriarchate he rendered great assistance to the Greek Dimitri Muruzi in his striving for the organization of the great public school in Constantinople, providing him with personal money and a special diploma, which had donations from the bishops of Constantinople. District letters were issued concerning the rights of Christians to the inheritance and about the proper performance by the clergy of the rite of the sacraments of baptism and communion. The Patriarch also took care of the proper distribution of the borders of the dioceses and the improvement of the monasteries. A special charter from 1803 approved a communal charter in the Russian Panteleimon monastery on Mount Athos, and hegumen of the monastery approved hieromonk Savva. The patriarch's commitment to the Constantinople party of the Greeks, who sympathized with the Russian influence in Turkish politics, served as a pretext for the overthrow of the patriarch on September 22, 1806. After the deposition lived in Constantinople .
On September 10, 1808, with the help of the pasha (vizier) Bayraktar, one of the strong temporary workers of Sultan Selim III was re-elected by the Patriarch of Constantinople.
During his second Patriarchate, he was the curator of the reconstruction of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem , and also created a Greek church hospital in the city of Prus , intended for patients with plague .
By the decision of the Holy Synod of the Constantinople Patriarchate of April 23, 1809, he was removed from management of the church due to his old age and after his retirement he lived in Diploconio on the Bosphorus .
