Letter 148: Part of the papal correspondence surrounding the Acacian Schism (484-519), the major breach between Rome and...

To the most holy and most blessed patriarch of the whole world, Hormisdas, who holds the see of the prince of the apostles, Peter: the petition and supplication of the least of the archimandrites [monastic superiors] and the other monks of your province of Second Syria [Secunda Syria, Roman province in modern Syria]. The grace of Christ, the Savior of us all, has driven us to take refuge with your blessedness, as from winter and tempest to a haven of tranquility. We are no longer troubled, admonished as we are that we should not believe ourselves held by the calamities that surround us. For even though we suffer, we endure with joy, knowing that "the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us" [Romans 8:18]. Since Christ our God has appointed for us your holy angel as chief pastor and teacher and physician of souls, it is fitting to set forth the sufferings that have befallen us, and to expose the merciless wolves who scatter the flock of Christ: so that with the staff of authority he may drive them from the midst of the sheep, and with the word of teaching heal our souls and soothe them with the medicines of prayer. Who these wolves are, and who has armed them against us, you have surely heard, most blessed one: that Severus [Severus of Antioch, anti-Chalcedonian patriarch] and Peter [Peter of Apamea], who were never reckoned among the number of Christians, who daily assail the holy Council of Chalcedon and our most holy and most blessed father Leo with public anathema, who regard the judgment of God as nothing and trample upon the venerable canons of the holy fathers — these men, by imperial power, compel bishops to be brought forward, and force us to mock the aforesaid holy synod, afflicting us with unspeakable torments. Whence some of them, unable to bear the blows inflicted upon them, have departed this life, and no small multitude of our people has been destroyed. For when we were going to the monastery of the lord Simeon [Simeon Stylites the Younger] for the cause of the Church, the aforesaid polluted ones laid ambush for us on the road, and falling upon us they killed three hundred and fifty of our men; some they wounded; and others who had been able to take refuge at the sacred altars, they slew on that very spot; and they burned the monasteries, sending by night a multitude of lawless and hired men, consuming all the poor possessions of the Church through such pestilent people. Concerning the particulars, the documents brought to your blessedness will inform you, carried by the venerable brothers John and Sergius, whom we had sent to Constantinople, hoping that vengeance would be taken for the crimes committed. But the emperor did not deign to address even a word to them, but rather expelled them with great insult, threatening those who would present such things. Hence it is that we know, even if belatedly, that all the wickedness and audacity of such evil men against the churches was arranged at his instigation. We therefore beseech you, most blessed one, supplicating and entreating, that you rise up with fervor and zeal, and justly grieve for the lacerated body, for you are the head of all, and vindicate the faith that has been despised, the canons that have been trampled, the fathers who have been blasphemed, and so great a synod that has been assailed with anathema. To you has been given by God the power and authority to bind and to loose. "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick" [Matthew 9:12]. Rise up, holy fathers, and come to save us! Be imitators of our Lord, who came down from heaven upon earth to seek the straying sheep; of Peter, that prince of the apostles, whose see you adorn; and of Paul, who is the vessel of election, who going about the world illuminated it; for great wounds require greater remedies. Mercenaries, seeing wolves coming against the sheep, allow them to be scattered; but to you, the true pastors and teachers, to whom care for the salvation of the sheep has been entrusted, the flock itself runs to recognize its shepherd, freed from the most savage beasts and following the voice of the shepherd, as the Lord says: "My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me" [John 10:27]. Do not despise us, most holy ones, who are daily wounded by fierce beasts. For the complete knowledge of your holy angel, we anathematize in this our petition, which has the force of a libellus [formal declaration of faith], all those cast out and excommunicated by your apostolic see. We name Nestorius [heretic, former bishop of Constantinople], Eutyches [monophysite heretic], Dioscorus and Peter of Alexandria who was surnamed Mongus ['the Stammerer'], and Peter who was called Fullo ['the Fuller,' of Antioch], and likewise Acacius [patriarch of Constantinople, d. 489, whose communion with heretics caused the Acacian Schism], their associate, and all who defend any one of those heretics.
