Patriarch Paul of Alexandria was Greek Patriarch of Alexandria between 537 and 542.
He was elected Patriarch in 537 when the Greek Church of Alexandria , which had previously recognized the Miaphysite Theodosius I , then exiled Gainas . He was the first Chalcedonian to be elected Patriarch since 482. He was deposed by the Synod of Gaza, but later reinstated.[1]
This election was the final split between the Miaphysite and Orthodox lineage, which lasts until today.
