(Elle) #1

  1. In his book Histoire des Conciles, vol. III, p. 59
    and its footnote. It should be noted that Leo I was
    one of four bishops of Rome to be
    excommunicated. The three others are: Liberius
    by Hilarius Bishop of Poitiers who was under
    Rome’s jurisdiction; Honorius by the Council of
    Constantinople held in A.D. 680; and Nicolaus by
    Photios the Constantinople Bishop in the eleventh
    century. Yet none of the excommunicators was so
    much as reprimanded for such behaviour; the only
    exception being Abba Dioscorus. Cf. Guettee, vol.
    III, pp. 202-3 and 208-10; vol. V, pp. 495-7 and
