=== Early life ===
Mihailo was born '''Miraš Dedeić''' on 8 November 1938 in the village [[Ramovo Ždrijelo]] in the [[Zeta Banovina]] of the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]], to Mlađen Dedeić and Saveta Delibašić. Dedeić's family is from [[Njegovuđe]], but their ancestors, originally of the [[Drobnjaci]] tribe, moved to [[Dobrilovina]] in the early 16th century. On 20 November 1938 he was baptized by a [[Serbian Orthodox Church|Serbian Orthodox]] priest [[Niko Pavičić]] in the Church of Saint Transfiguration of Lord in the nearby village of [[Krš, Žabljak|Krš]]. His godfather was [[Krsto Bajčeta]]. Dedeić finished elementary school in [[Tomaševo]]-[[Šahovići]]. At the age of 21, after [[World War II]], he joined the [[Serbian Orthodox Seminary of Prizren]]. He completed only two grades, later claiming that he was forced to abandon his education because he identified as a [[Montenegrins|Montenegrin]], and not a [[Serbs|Serb]]. Instead, he finished the Real Classical High School of Prizren. Afterwards he enrolled in the study of [[pedagogy]] at the [[University of Priština]], but having always wished for a career in theology, he asked the then [[Eparchy of Raška and Prizren|Bishop of Raška and Prizren]] [[Pavle, Serbian Patriarch|Pavle]] of the Serbian Orthodox Church for assistance, who gave him his blessing. Dedeić joined the Faculty of Orthodox Theology [[University of Belgrade]] on 16 September 1965. He studied as an irregular student and finished exams under the mentorship of professor [[Čedomir Drašković]]. He graduated in 1969.


On 6 January 1997 in [[Cetinje]], he was proposed and elected head of the [[Montenegrin Orthodox Church]]. On 31 October 1998 in Cetinje, he was enthroned as Metropolitan of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church.<ref name=":1" />
=== Various jobs ===
On 11 November 1969 the Holy Synod of the SOC appointed Dedeić assistant teacher for the monastic school at [[Ostrog Monastery]]. The then [[Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral]] [[Danilo Dajković]] was his opponent and was against this, managing to get him fired on 6 October 1970. Professor Čedomir Drašković, whom he befriended, enrolled him at the [[Pontifical Oriental Institute]] in [[Rome]], from which he graduated on 23 June 1973. Metropolitan Danilo was against this, but prof Dr [[Ivan Žužek]], a Catholic canonist, managed to defend him. The Metropolitan was a critic of the [[Communism|communist]] regime and of Drašković, who had remained close to the [[League of Communists of Yugoslavia|League of Communists]]. He also criticized Dedeić's poor school ratings. Dedeić submitted a doctorate request to a [[Slovenia|Slovenian]] professor at the college, Dr Leskovac, but his application was rejected. After attempting to enroll at a post-graduate course at the [[Moscow Theological Academy|Russian Spiritual Academy of Saint Serge]] in [[Sergiyev Posad|Zagorsk]], he dropped them and then turned to [[Montenegro]].


== Political views ==
Drašković helped Dedeić find employment at the [[State Archive of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]] on 31 January 1975, where he was subsequently sent by an academician of the [[Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts]] (SANU) [[Vaso Čubrilović]] and he set off to work for Director Mazayef. On 18 June 1975 he was given access to the Shchedrin Library at Leningrad. He then worked for the SANU Department of History, as Čubrilović employed him to collect data from the period between 16th and 18th centuries from the Archive of [[Trieste]]. On 19 April 1982 Serbian academician [[Radovan Samardžić]] recommended him to the State Archive of [[Italy]] and he was employed by the Italian Foreign Ministry to work on the collection of sources in the [[Vatican Secret Archives]], the Archive of the [[Propaganda Fide]] and the Venetian Archive. In Italy he married Rosana, a nurse employed in eldercare, and moved in with her.
At the beginning of [[Croatian War of Independence]] Dedeić gave a statement to the Italian media saying that the war started because of the "desire of the Croatian leadership to take over Serbian territories". He called [[Dubrovnik]] a "Serbian city", while comparing Croatian President [[Franjo Tuđman]] to [[Adolf Hitler]].<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|last=Radiosarajevo.ba|title=Ko je, ustvari, mitropolit Mihailo, alias Miraš Dedeić|url=https://radiosarajevo.ba/vijesti/regija/ko-je-ustvari-mitropolit-mihailo-alias-miras-dedeic/36739|access-date=2022-01-24|website=Radio Sarajevo}}</ref>


During the 1992-1995 [[Bosnian War]], Dedeić had been fundraising to support the [[Army of Republika Srpska]] under [[Ratko Mladić|Ratko Mladić's]] command during his plight to support the Serbs fighting the Bosnian Muslims and Croats.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.anthroserbia.org/Content/PDF/Publications/CastKrvSuze_10jul07a.pdf|title= Sadržaj|website=www.anthroserbia.org |access-date=2020-09-05}}</ref>
=== Priest ===
In June 1984 Dedeić attempted to enroll in ecclesiastic service, specifically at Ostrog Monastery. He was preparing to take his [[monastic vows]] in the Serbian Orthodox Church, but Metropolitan Danilo was strictly against it and overruled the act. Searching elsewhere, he was ordained a [[priest]] in the [[Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Vienna|Church of Holy Trinity]] in [[Vienna]] on 30 June 1988 by Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Austria and Exarch of Italy and Hungary Chrysostom. Dedeić spent almost the entire following decade as a Greek-Orthodox priest in [[Rome]]. He managed to gather the Orthodox Serb community in Rome and found the Serbian-Orthodox Municipality in Rome. He secured the permission from the Ecumenical Patriarch Spiridon to hold liturgic service in the local Greek Church of Saint Andrew in [[Serbian language|Serbian]].


In a Croatian TV show "Bujica", Dedeić stated that Serbia "committed genocide" in Montenegro in 1918 and 1920<ref name=":2" /> and that Serbs are a "disruptive factor in the Balkans and that they should land a little, because there is no longer [[Greater Serbia]]". He also added that Croatia has the right to form the [[Croatian Orthodox Church]].<ref name=":0" />
{{quote|The Birth of the Christ was today celebrated also by the children of [[Saint Sava]] and the descendants of Saint [[Prince Lazar]], the Orthodox Serbs that live in Rome. They have gathered today in front of the throne of the eternal ruler - Christ|Miraš Dedeić|1989}}

In 1991 Dedeić held a discussion with Croatian expert Dr [[Marin Kinel]] on Serbo-Croatian relations, in the outcome of the war. Miraš Dedeić became a proponent of [[Serbian nationalism]], he magnified [[Slobodan Milošević]] as the savior of the Serb people, reintegrating [[Kosovo]] and [[Vojvodina]]. He justified the assault of the [[Yugoslav People's Army]] on [[Dubrovnik]] and a historical Montenegrin right to it, as well as Italy's right to [[Istria]] and [[Dalmatia]]. He blamed the Croatian President [[Franjo Tuđman]] for outcome of conflict, calling him "The Balkan Hitler".

{{quote|Speaking as a Serb, I desire that, when a permanent peace is established, Serbia and Croatia definitely separate.|Miraš Dedeić|1991}}

Following various rumors about him, the Ecclesiastical Court suspended him of all priestly ordains for an undetermined period in 1994 on the proposition of Metropolitan Spiridon (approved, November 1995), the final point being creation of a Serb-Orthodox Municipality out of the Greek Orthodox Church as his personal domain.

On 16 May 1995 Dedeić wrote to the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitan of Zagreb-Ljubljana and All of Italy Jovan to accept his service in the SOC, but his pleas were ignored.

{{quote|Because I have founded, the Serbian Ecclesiastic Municipality in Rome the Greeks were angry at me, a misunderstanding arose and Metropolitan Spiridon suspended me for these three months.

During the 1992-1995 [[Bosnian war]], Dedeić had been fundraising to support the Army of the Serb Republic under Ratko Mladić's command during his plight to support the Serbs fighting the Bosnian Muslims and Croats.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.anthroserbia.org/Content/PDF/Publications/CastKrvSuze_10jul07a.pdf|title= Sadržaj|website=www.anthroserbia.org |access-date=2020-09-05}}</ref>

=== Head of MOC ===
With the death of the head of the unrecognized [[Montenegrin Orthodox Church]] [[Antonije Abramović]] in 1996, [[Sreten Perović]] introduced Dedeić to the Montenegrin Orthodox public and Dedeić expressed joy for the recreation of a MOC, explaining how angry he was at the horrible way the SOC treated him so far and particularly at his future prime opponent, Metropolitan [[Amfilohije]] of the [[Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral]]. He was thus elected at a Montenegrin National Gathering on 6 January 1997 as the new head of the unrecognized MOC by a crown of followers in [[Cetinje]] and on 27 January 1997 he resigned from the GOC. The gathering featured far fewer people than from back the last time under his predecessor Antonije Abramović, as back then it was a sign of a liberal struggle against the authoritarian regime of [[Momir Bulatović]], [[Milo Đukanović]] and [[Svetozar Marović]] heavily influenced by the Serbian President Slobodan Milošević. This was swiftly followed by his full-scale [[excommunication]] and an [[anathema]] from the community of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] by decree of the Ecumenical Holy Synod on 9 April 1997.

In 1997, Đukanović defeated pro-Serbian protégé Bulatović in [[1997 Montenegrin presidential election|presidential elections]], leading to a change in treatment of the MOC. Dedeić managed to register his Church as a [[non-governmental organization]] in the Cetinje local police station. Soon afterwards in 1998 he was made a monk and archimandrite by the likewise unrecognized [[Macedonian Orthodox Church]], but it refused to give him the title of Bishop, in order to maintain good relations with the Serbian Orthodox Church from which it separated. Dedeić found it in the likewise unrecognized [[Bulgarian Orthodox Church - Alternative Synod|Bulgarian Alternative Orthodox Church]]. The same year, he was made Bishop of Cetinje by the excommunicated Patriarch Pimen and seven Metropolitans and Bishops of his Church. On 23 November 1999 Mihailo attempted to do what his predecessor failed and submitted himself a request for official recognition as one of the religious communities in the Republic of Montenegro. After the request was again ignored, Dedeić brought the matter to the Courts, eventually winning the dispute and having the MOC officially registered on 17 January 2000. Leading his Church in communion with the uncannonical Orthodox Christian world, the [[Kyiv]]-based [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Kyiv Patriarchate)|Ukrainian Orthodox Church]]; it was in communion with the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]], however since 2006 it is within the process of restoration into the cannon [[Russian Orthodox Church]].
Dedeić's appointment for head of the MOC was not without controversy. The Board for the Restoration of Autocephaly of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church, a sovereignist NGO dedicated to reestablishing a separate Montenegrin Church, did not approve it. Its president Dr [[Danilo Radojević]] was strictly against it, specifically because of Dedeić's controversies in Italy and Serb nationalist past. In 1999, the Montenegrin Orthodox Church received a Constitution under Mihailo, who subsequently proclaimed himself Archbishop of Cetinje. Support from the new directive Montenegrin authorities waned, and official Montenegro strictly separated itself from any support of the MOC, the country's President [[Filip Vujanović]] explicitly defends the SOC's stand. Supported once only by the now disbanded [[Liberal Alliance of Montenegro]], MOC found political support in the reigning side within the [[Social Democratic Party of Montenegro]] and the [[Croatian Civic Initiative]] and the [[Liberal Party of Montenegro]] in the opposition.

Since 2005, Mihailo headed the construction of the first MOC shrines in Montenegro, but also in [[Serbia]], where its supporter the "Krstaš" Association of Ethnic Montenegrins is very active in [[Vojvodina]]. At the [[Montenegrin independence referendum, 2006|2006 referendum]] in which Montenegro chose independence from [[Serbia and Montenegro|its state union with Serbia]], Mihailo officially supported the "Yes" option. Afterwards, the Church announced a new directive, laying claim to all Serbian Orthodox monasteries and churches in Montenegro built before 1918 and those built afterwards with funds achieved in Montenegro, leading to a greater conflict with the legal Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral. On 11 January 2007 the Church's organization came closer to completion, as a [[Holy Synod]] was formed under Mihailo, and the territory of Montenegro was hierarchically split onto 5 dioceses.

In 2007, Mihailo attempted to seize [[Beška Monastery]] from the SOC with a group of followers, after which he was sued by the Montenegrin Metropolitanate. Facing a trial at the local court of [[Bar, Montenegro|Bar]], he was found guilty of disturbance of peace, the appeal was rejected and he received a restraint order banning him approach to the Serbian Orthodox Church. The same year he attempted to seize the Metropolitanate's seat, the [[Cetinje Monastery]], with several hundred supporters. At the incident they clashed with the Montenegrin Police Forces which secured the monastery entry points on special order of the Government. Some of chants including those of Mihailo was interpreted as aggressive threats, while they were trying to brake in, and the event was sharply criticized by the public.

In 2008, the MOC wanted to register in Serbia, but was rejected, however the Serbian Supreme Court overruled the act deeming it unconstitutional. The conflict between the two religious groups in Montenegro again reached climate point when the local authorities of the Cetinje Municipality confiscated SOC property in Cetinje and granted it to the MOC. This situation now means that the [[relics]] of [[Saint John the Baptist]] are held ''de facto'' by Mihailo, much to the anguish of the [[Royal Family of Serbia]] and the [[Order of Saint John]]. Talks are currently underway with the [[Holy See|Vatican]] to hand over the relics. But some consider that the rightful owners are the church authorities in [[Malta]].

During Dedeić's pastoral visit in Argentina in 2007, the Metropolitan Mihailo met Cardinal Bergoglio, who later became [[Pope Francis]].

In late 2020 it was uncovered that a number of individuals close to the ruling DPS party, including Miraš Dedeić, were given free tickets or significant discount for the flights of the [[Montenegro Airlines]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Stojović|first=Mladen|date=2020-12-31|title=Montenegro Airlines za Miraša TOTAL FREE, besplatno letjeli i Ana i Jefto|url=https://objektiv.me/2020/12/31/montenegro-airlines-za-mirasa-total-free-besplatno-letjeli-i-ana-i-jefto/|access-date=2021-01-01|website=Objektiv Crna Gora|language=bs-BA}}</ref>

== Personal life ==
Besides Dedeić's native [[Serbian language|Serbian]], Dedeić is fluent in [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Russian language|Russian]] and [[Greek language|Greek]], while he can also understand [[French language|French]] and translate [[Latin language|Latin]]. He is a personal friend of the successor to the Italian throne [[Umberto II]]; he worked in Umberto's Archive in his villa in the tiny [[Portugal|Portuguese]] city of Cascais, searching for documents regarding Umberto's mother Helen (Jelena), Princess of Montenegro.

After finishing his studies he worked in the state archives of SFR Yugoslavia, Soviet Union and Italy in the Roman representation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and later served as a priest of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. His service with the Patriarchate of Constantinople ended in 1997, when Patriarch Bartholomew gave a statement saying that Dedeić had been dismissed for canonical offenses including adultery and embezzlement, that his priestly rank had been revoked, and that he had been reinstated as a layman.[5]
