After his academic theological studies in the Eastern Church (all his studies were carried out abroad), he was Presbyter, Protopresbyter, Episcopus/Bishop in that same Eastern church of the diaspora in the USA.
Renouncing his ecclesiastical career (not the Presbyterate and the Episcopate as Ministeries) at his original Patriarchate, he returned to Italy as a "pioneer", and following the model of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and many other biblical examples, he established a Church, by definition Proto-Christian, which fully recovers the early Christian teachings, in imitation of St. Paul, supporting himself and his family at the same time with his profession. He carried out his apostolate to spread biblical truths according to the proto-Christian model, regardless of any historical-ecclesiological tradition structured over the centuries, because it does not adhere to biblical truth. He also gave up his university career as a Professor and Dean of Faculty.
He, now, does Courses, Individual and Group Coaching.

Biblical and Applied Numerology (see Dr. Randazzo's Books):
Symbolism and Patristic Interpretations
Biblical numerology is a topic of significant debate in theological literature, with varying opinions on the symbolic use of numbers. This concept can be traced back to the teachings of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, who posited that "all things are ordered according to the nature of numbers; [number is eternal essence; God is number; number is God]." Pythagorean theories influenced numerous thinkers, including both Neo-Pythagoreans and early Christian philosophers. Among these Christian thinkers were both Gnostic heretics and orthodox Church Fathers.
​
Gnostic and Patristic Approaches to Numbers
Gnostics sought hidden metaphysical truths within numbers, employing them mystically. This tendency was strongly criticized by St. Irenaeus, who rejected such approaches in Christian exegesis. He wrote:
"[The Gnostics] attempt to provide proof [for their system] using the numbers and syllables of names, sometimes even the letters of syllables, as well as numbers contained in letters according to Greek practice.
This demonstrates most clearly their confusion, distortion, and the untenable nature of their so-called knowledge."
Despite St. Irenaeus's critique of mystical numerology, he did not dismiss the use of numbers altogether. As Davis notes, Irenaeus did not argue that "numerical analysis is inherently fallacious" (p. 112). In fact, Irenaeus followed the theological reasoning of St. Justin Martyr, who referenced Pythagoras to support monotheism. The key distinction lies in the purpose: for the Church Fathers, numbers had symbolic value, while for the Gnostics, numbers held mystical significance, implying inherent metaphysical power.
​
Symbolic Numbers in Patristic Thought
The symbolic interpretation of numbers was a recurring theme in the writings of early Christian thinkers such as St. Justin, St. Irenaeus, St. Clement, and St. Methodius. However, it is in the work of St. Augustine that we find the most profound appreciation for biblical numerology. For Augustine, numbers served as representations of the immutable and absolute nature of divine truths. He emphasized the risk of misunderstanding biblical events or truths due to ignorance of numerical symbolism—such as the significance of Christ fasting for forty days in the desert.
From the writings of the Church Fathers, the following interpretations of symbolic numbers emerge:
-
One (1): The essence of God.
-
Two (2): The creative revelation of God.
-
Three (3): The hypostases (persons) of God.
-
Four (4): The creation of the world.
-
Five (5): The grace of God.
-
Six (6): The creation of humanity.
-
Seven (7): Perfection and completeness.
-
Eight (8): The resurrection of the New Man (Christ).
-
Nine (9): Divine judgment.
-
Ten (10): Union with God.
-
​
Numbers Beyond Ten and Their Significance
Certain numbers exceeding ten also bear symbolic meaning:
-
Twelve (12): Derived from 2 + 10, symbolizes God’s revelation to His chosen people.
-
Forty (40): Derived from 4 × 10, represents the "life of toil" (in Augustinian terms) leading to union with God.
-
Seventy (70): Derived from 7 × 10, signifies God’s perfect governance of the world.
Other significant numbers include 156 (the number of fish gathered by the apostles) and 666 (the number of the Antichrist). While interpretations of these numbers vary among the Church Fathers, their general symbolism aligns with the exegesis of numbers 1–10. For instance, 156 could represent divine grace (1), grace (5), and humanity (6), while 666, the repetition of six three times, is not the case and this is not the place to explain it since it is a particularly complex symbolism.
​
The Theological Distinction
The Church Fathers maintained that biblical numbers should be understood symbolically—pointing to higher truths—rather than mystically, which would assign them an intrinsic metaphysical power. This distinction underscores the theological caution against adopting speculative or esoteric interpretations.
​
Conclusion
In summary, biblical numerology, as interpreted by the Church Fathers, reflects the rich symbolic tradition of early Christian theology. These numbers provide insights into divine truths and biblical events, emphasizing their role in guiding believers toward a deeper understanding of God's plan, rather than serving as mystical or metaphysical keys.
