He initially became engaged as a preacher (1942 - 1947) and later on, from 1967, as the Bishop of Florina, appointed with honour by the Holy Synod of the Greek Orthodox Church during the period of dictatorship in the country (1967 - 74). Kantiotis contributed remarkably to the process of hellenization and the purging of every cultural element that was deemed by him to be harmful. Thes eoffensive elements could be summarized as being anything considered antithetical to the doctrine of a “Greece of Greek Christians”. The violence he addressed to anything considered non-Hellenic was multifaceted. Apart from verbal vitriol, excommunications and constant curses, the wanton demolition of monuments and their replacement by new ones functioned as symbolic violence against the inhabitants of the area. | accessdate = | lang-hide = | lang = en }}</ref> По време на неговото управление са разрушени старите български църкви „[[Свети Пантелеймон (Лерин)|Свети Панталеймон]]“ в [[Лерин]], „[[Св. св.

According to the anniversary edition of Florina’s diocese (Pichos 1993: 23, 26), Athanasios Roukalis, an older priest of that church stated: "It weighed gravely upon me that the cathedral, internally and externally, had a Slavic architectural planning and design. It had three domes in the Slavic style. All the windows were also of a Slavic form. In the interior of the church, the paintings of the iconastasis were written with Slavic letters and the Greek were written on top of them. In many cases, the Greek letters were worn off or faded and the Slavic ones became visible again. I couldn’t accept that." After removing all the “offending” church icons and modifying the altar and the windows, they finally demolished the whole church. Under the pretext, that they were public safety hazards, several churches in the wider area were torn down, the Cathedral of Florina included. In many cases the “threat” was so immense that they were forced to use tanks to demolish the buildings, as happened in the case of the St. Konstantinos and Helen’s Church in Amyntaion, another town in the Florina district. | accessdate = | lang-hide = | lang = en }}</ref>
