Topic: Acacian schism


  
  The Eastern Schism
However, the Eastern Schism always means that most deplorable quarrel of which the final result is the separation of the vast majority of Eastern Christians from union with the Catholic Church, the schism that produced the separated, so-called "Orthodox" Church.
The Eastern Schism was not a movement arising in all the East; it was not a quarrel between two large bodies; it was essentially the rebellion of one see, Constantinople, which by the emperor's favour had already acquired such influence that it was able unhappily to drag the other patriarchs into schism with it.
There were fifty-five years of schism (343-98) during the Arian troubles, eleven because of St. John Chrysostom's deposition (404-15), thirty-five years of the Acacian schism (484-519), forty-one years of Monothelite schism (640-81), sixty-one years because of Iconoclasm.

 Patriarch Acacius of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He condemned and deposed Acacius, a proceeding which the latter regarded with contempt, but which involved a schism between the two sees that lasted after Acacius’s death through the long and troubled reign of the Byzantine emperor Anastasius I, and was only healed by Justin I under Pope Hormisdas in 519.
On the one side he laboured to restore unity to Eastern Orthodoxy, which was distracted by the varieties of opinion to which the Eutychian debates had given rise; and on the other to magnify the authority of his see by asserting its independence of Rome, and extending its influence over Alexandria and Antioch.
And under this aspect it suggests a significant comparison with another and better known set of "articles" composed nearly eleven centuries later, when the leaders of the Anglican schism were thridding a careful way between the extremes of Roman teaching on the one side and of Lutheran and Calvinistic negations on the other.

This final schism was the result of the clash of two powerful personalities, of Pope Leo IX and Michael Cerularius.
The Schism of the East should not be so suprising if we considering the great number of Bishops and Priests of the Eastern Church which had fallen away from the faith by heresy prior to 1054.
In fact some years after the Schism of 1054 a reconciliation was brought about and solemnly proclaimed at the Council of Florence, held in 1438 under the Pontificate of Eugenius IV; but the ill will of the clergy of Constantinople almost completely annulled the effect of this reunion.

Eventually, however, the distinctions between schism and heresy gradually became less clear, and disruptions in the church caused by disagreements over doctrine as well as disruptions caused by other disagreements were eventually all referred to as schismatic.
Perhaps, the oldest schism mentioned in history books was the Acacian Schism (484-519) that represented a split between the patriarchate of Constantino-ple and the Roman See, caused by an edict by Byzantine patriarch Acacius that was deemed inadmissible by Pope Felix III.
Consequently, Acacius was deposed (484) by Pope Felix III in an excommunication that was reaffirmed and broadened in 485 to embrace all of Acacius’ associates, including a substantial part of the Byzantine hierarchy.

 Philip Blosser - Scripture and Catholic Tradition
The basic fact of the Acacian Schism is that the Pope (Pope St. Hormisdas, pictured left) exercised his jurisdiction over the whole Church in calling the schismatic Eastern bishops back to submission, compelling them by the power of his authority to sign his Formula on the dotted line.
This led to the singular event that brought to an end the Acacian Schism of 484-519: two hundred Eastern bishops were summoned to Constantinople and, in complicity to the demand of Pope Hormisdas, made to sign the document that has come to be known to posterity as the Formula of Hormisdas.
I recognize that "Eastern Schism" is not an amiable expression in a time of generally amiable and solicitous ecumenical overtures emanating from Rome towards her Eastern brethren.

The Acacian schism (484-519) and Pope Gelasius Ι (492-96)
Unfortunately, however, the Henoticon, though promulgated by Zeno as a compromise which he hoped would satisfy the Chalcedonians and conciliate the monophysites, pleased no one; and its sponsor, Patriarch Acacius of Constantinople (471-89), was excommunicated by Pope Felix (484).
In revenge, Acacius struck the name of Felix from the diptychs (the book containing the names of those who were mentioned in the liturgical prayers of the Church of Constantinople), and the resulting "Acacian" schism, as it was called, lasted until 519.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Acacians
In order to understand the theological significance of Acacianism as a critical episode, if only an episode, in the logical, as well as in the historical progress of Arianism, it is needful to recall that the great definition of the
Events had already begun to ripen towards a fresh crisis shortly after the advent of Constantius to sole power, on the death of his brother Constans in the year 350.
The Acacians seized the occasion to make common cause with his ideas, but the alliance was only political; they threw him over once more at the Synod of Antioch held under Jovian in 363.

 A Time Line of Church History
All historians agree today that the schism which eventually became a permanent form of separation between Eastern and Western Christians did not occur suddenly.
Whatever the issue and whoever was at fault, it is clear that, underneath the debate on a concrete theological or disciplinary problem, there was a developing difference on the repective authority of the "apostolic see" of Rome on the one side, and on the other, the idea of a conciliar consensus prevailing in the East.
The Photian schism (880) further complicated the debate.

 Pope Gelasius I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gelasius' book De duabus in Christo naturis ('On the dual nature of Christ') delineated the western view.
During the Acacian schism, Gelasius went further than his predecessors in asserting the primacy of Rome over the entire Church, East and West, and he presented this doctrine in terms that set the model for subsequent popes asserting the claims of papal supremacy.
In 494, Gelasius wrote a very influential letter, known from its incipit as Duo sunt, to Anastasius [1].
