	Acacius of Caesarea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acacius of Caesarea in Greek Aκακιος Mονoφθαλμος (died 366) was a Christian bishop, the pupil and successor in the Palestinian see of Caesarea of Eusebius AD 340, whose life he wrote.
		Acacius took a leading place among the prelates who succeeded in splitting into two the ecumenical council which Constantius II had proposed to summon, and thus nullifying its authority.
		Acacius and his followers did not wait for the sentence of deposition; instead they flew to Constantinople and laid their complaints before the emperor.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Acacius (Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine)
		Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, disciple and biographer of Eusebius, the historian, whose successor in the See of Caesarea he became in 340.
		The fact, however, that Acacius received a temporary check in the reinstatement of Cyril, at the hands of the Synod of Seleucia, must not blind the reader to the real weight of his influence either in the Council itself or in the ecclesiastical politics of the time.
		Acacius returned to his see in 361 and spent the next two years of his life in filling the vacant sees of Palestine with men who were thought to sympathize with his policy of theological vagueness and Anti-Nicenism.

	Newman Reader - Library of Fathers - Preface, St. Cyril
		He was canonically consecrated by the Bishops of his province, and as Acacius was still in possession of the principal see, he was compelled to a recognition which he might have wished to dispense with.
		Acacius in consequence accused him to the Emperor Constantius of holding with the orthodox; to which it was added that he had during a scarcity sold some offerings made by Constantine to his Church, to supply the wants of the poor.
		But the next year, Acacius contriving to bring the matter before a Council at Constantinople, where the Emperor was staying, Cyril with his friends was a second time deposed, and banished from Palestine [Note 13].

	The Acacians
		In the East, the Anomoeans turned almost as a matter of course to Acacius of Caesarea, whose influence was growing stronger at court and who was felt to be a shrewd and not too scrupulous temporizer.
		It was Acacius and his followers who had skilfully managed the whole proceeding from the outset.
		In 365 the Semi-Arian Synod of Lampsacus condemned Acacius.

		Leonas then said that a document had been put into his hand by Acacius, to which he desired to call their attention: but he did not state that it was the drought of a creed, which in some particulars covertly, and in others unequivocally contradicted the former.
		This was the declaration of faith proposed by Acacius, and subscribed by himself and as many as adhered to his opinion, the number of whom we have already given.
		The adverse party left alone met in the church and requested the attendance of those who followed Acacius, that cognizance might be taken of the case of Cyril, bishop of Jerusalem: for that prelate had been accused long before, on what grounds however I am unable to state.

		This may have been as much as the cause of Acacius' enmity to him as his attachment to the Nicene formula.
		At all events, in 357 Acacius caused Cyril to be exiled on the charge of selling church furniture during a famine.
		Acacius was deposed and St. Cyril seems to have returned to his see.

		Epiphanius describes the heresiarch as tall, grave, and winning; no aspersion on his moral character has been sustained; but there is some possibility of personal differences having led to his quarrel with the patriarch Alexander whom, in public synod, he accused of teaching that the Son was identical with the Father (319).
		This new party was led by Acacius of Caesarea, an aspiring churchman who maintained that he, and not St. Cyril of Jerusalem, was metropolitan over Palestine.
		The Gepidae, Heruli, Vandals, Alans, and Lombards received a system which they were as little capable of understanding as they were of defending, and the Catholic bishops, the monks, the sword of Clovis, the action of the Papacy, made an end of it before the eighth century.

		In 350 he was elevated to the see of Jerusalem, and became deeply involved in the dogmatic controversies of his time.
		His metropolitan, Acacius of Caesarea, inclined to Arianism, while Cyril strongly espoused the Nicene creed and was, in consequence, deposed for a time.
		On the death of the emperor Constantine he was restored; but on the accession of Valens, an Arian emperor, he had once more to resign his post till the accession of Theodosius permitted him to return finally in peace in 379.

	Cyril of Jerusalem (c.315 - 387)
		After the death of Maximus or, as Socrates and Sozomen have it, after the expulsion of Maximus by the Arians, Cyril became bishop by the aid of this party.
		Acacius cited Cyril before him; and, when the latter declined to appear, the former had him deposed by a council of only a few bishops (358).
		But in 360 a still larger council of Arians, held in Constantinople, confirmed the deposition of Cyril; and it was only the death of Constantius and the accession of Julian which enabled Cyril to return to his see.

		Acacius was a pupil of Eusebius of Cæsarea, and succeeded him in the see of Cæsarea in Palestine.
		Basil, who is considered their head, wrote against Marcellus, and was placed by the Arians in his see; he has little place in history till the date of the Council of Sardica, which deposed him.
		Constantius, however, stood his friend till the beginning of the year 360, when Acacius supplanted him in the Imperial favour, and he was banished into Illyricum.

	Cyril of Jerusalem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Naturally inclined to peace and conciliation, he took at first a rather moderate position, distinctly averse from Arianism, but (like not a few of his undoubtedly orthodox contemporaries) by no means eager to accept the uncompromising term homooussios.
		Separating from his metropolitan, Acacius of Caesarea (q.v.), a partizan of Arius, Cyril took the side of the Eusebians, the "right wing" of the post-Nicene conciliation party, and thus got into difficulties with his superior, which were increased by Acacius's jealousy of the importance assigned to Cyril's see by the Council of Nicaea.
		A council held under Acacius's influence in 358 deposed Cyril and forced him to retire to Tarsus.

		As the rank of the various sees among themselves was gradually arranged according to the divisions of the empire, Caesarea became the metropolitan see; the Bishop of Ælia was merely one of its suffragans.
		While he was defending the Faith against the Arians, Acacius of Caesarea, an extreme Arian, summoned a Synod (358) to try Cyril for various offences, of which the first was that he had disobeyed or behaved with insubordination towards Acacius, his superior.
		The frontiers of this new patriarchate, as established by Chalcedon, are to the north the Lebanon, to the west the Mediterranean, to the south Sinai (Mount Sinai was certainly originally included in its boundaries), to the east Arabia and the desert.

		Acacius took this chance and made an effort to obtain an order to exile him from the country.

		Because he was supported by the Arian bishop of Caesarea, Acacius, the orthodox criticized the appointment and the Arians thought they had a friend.
		Acacius returned but left again for good when his creed was rejected -- and refused to come back even to give testimony against his enemy Cyril.
		This was not the end of Cyril's troubles because Acacius carried his story to the emperor -- embellishing it with details that it was a gift of the emperor's that was sold to a dancer who died wearing the robe.

		ACACIUS, Eudoxius, and those at Constantinople who took part with them, became exceedingly anxious that they also on their side might depose some of the opposite party.
		Now it should be observed that neither of the factions were influenced by religious considerations in making depositions, but by other motives: for although they did not agree respecting the faith, yet the ground of their reciprocal depositions was not error in doctrine.
