John VII of Georgia

John VII (Georgian: იოანე) was Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, from 1208 to 1210. He belonged to the group of reactionary monks that supported Georgian-Dyophysitism and condemned Armenian Miaphysitism. His activities resulted by baptizing Ivane Mkhargrdzeli, the ruler of Dvin and Vaspurakan, and a great number of Armenians with him.
