Kolbe Library
Annals of Catholicism
A native of Rome, elected 24
Nov., 496; d. 16 Nov., 498. His congratulatory letter to Clovis , on the
occasion of the latter's conversion is now deemed a forgery of the seventeenth
century (J. Kavet, Bibl. de l ec. des Chartres, 1885, XLVI, 258-59). He
insisted in the removal from the diptychs of the name of Acacius, Patriarch of
Constantinople, but recognized the validity of his sacramental acts, an
attitude that displeased the Romans. He also condemned Traducianisin.
