Anatolius Of Constantinople Acknowledged Leo’s Authority Over Chalcedon
Anatolius Of Constantinople Acknowledged Leo’s Authority Over Chalcedon
MHFM: Chalcedon was a true council. But canon 28 was not approved. Pope St. Leo the Great rejected it at the time. Canon 28 was therefore not an official act of the council.
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (#15), June 29, 1896: “The 28th Canon of the Council of Chalcedon, by the very fact that it lacks the assent and approval of the Apostolic See, is admitted by all to be worthless.”
In fact, in a letter to Pope St. Leo the Great, the Patriarch of Constantinople at the time (Anatolius) acknowledged that the whole force and confirmation of the acts was reserved to the pope.
Anatolius, Epistle 132 to Pope Leo, April 454: “As for those things which the universal council of Chalcedon recently ordained in favor of the Church of Constantinople, let your holiness be sure that there was no fault in me, who from my youth have always loved peace and quiet, keeping myself in humility. It was the most reverend clergy of the Church of Constantinople who were eager about it, and they were equally supported by the most reverend priests of those parts, who agreed about it. Even so the whole force and confirmation of the acts was reserved for the authority of your blessedness.” (Patrologia Latina 54:1084)
