	Council of Chalcedon
		The former was banished, and died shortly afterwards in consequence of ill-treatment; he was succeeded by the deacon Anatolius, a partisan of Dioscurus.
		Anatolius of Constantinople, and with him many other bishops, condemned the teaching of Eutyches and accepted the dogmatic epistle of Pope Leo.
		The twenty-eighth ratified the third canon of the Council of Constantinople (381), and decreed that since the city of Constantinople was honoured with the privilege of having the emperor and the Senate within its walls, its bishop should also have special prerogatives and be second in rank, after the Bishop of Rome.

		Moreover, the fact that the Fathers of the Council, the Patriarch of Constantinople Anatolius, and the Emperor Marcian himself insisted in their letters that the Pope should sign the Canon is sufficient indication that the conciliar Fathers saw in its wording no offensive against Rome.
		Constantinople has no special position in the Church hierarchy because she was not founded by an Apostle.
		Anatolius of Constantinople and the Pope came, at the end, to a kind of "compromise." Although Constantinople continued de facto to use the right accorded to her Bishops by the Council, Canon Twenty-eight was not included in the collection of Eastern Canon Law.

	Patriarch Anatolius of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He became Patriarch through the influence of patriarch Dioscorus of Alexandria (second only to Constantinople) with emperor Theodosius II, after the deposition of Flavian by the "Robber Synod," having previously been the apocrisiarius or representative of Dioscorus with the emperor at Constantinople (Zonaras, Annals, iii).
		In conjunction with Pope Leo, according to Zonaras (Annals iii), he requested the emperor Marcian to summon a general council against Dioscorus and the Eutychians, but the imperial letter instructing Anatolius in the preparations for the Council of Chalcedon only mentions Leo (Philippe Labbe, Conc.
		The followers of Dioscorus are said to have killed him in 458.

	The Ecumenical Patriarchate
		The fact that the Archbishop of Constantinople had canonically secured the first place of seniority of honor in the East, but had not yet acquired an ordinary administrative jurisdiction, was treated with particular sensitivity and, therefore, even in the case of his consecration the invitation of Bishops from other jurisdictions was deemed to be necessary.
		Thus the patriarchal throne of Constantinople was now able to combine the great ecclesiastical authority of an exceptional seniority of honor with a wider canonical procedure within the con text of a flourishing empire.
		This development of the throne of Constantinople was not, of course, a simple addition of theoretical decisions concerning the strengthening of the authority of the Church of the new capital of the Empire.

	Canon Broadsides (This Rock: April 1999)
		This canon states that since the city of Constantinople "enjoys equal privileges with the old imperial Rome, [it] should in ecclesiastical matters also be magnified as she [Rome] is, and rank next after her." Webster sees this canon as an example of the Council's opposition to papal primacy.
		The justification for the canon was that since the cities of Constantinople and Rome were equally imperial capitals-one of the East and the other the West-Constantinople's bishop should be further magnified in keeping with that city's imperial dignity.
		Anatolius, bishop of Constantinople, declared separately to Pope Leo that the pope had the full authority to confirm or reject conciliar decrees, including canon twenty-eight: "The whole force and confirmation of the acts has been reserved for the authority of your Holiness" (Epistle 132; Hefele's A History of the Christian Councils, v.

		He belonged to the Alexandrian school, was apocrisiarius at Constantinople of Dioscurus of Alexandria, and succeeded Flavian as patriarch after the “Robber Synod” of Ephesus (449).
		It was a time of conflict, and Anatolius was more than once accused of heresy, ambition, and injustice.
		Anatolius is identified by John Mason Neale (Hymns of the Eastern Church, London, 1862) with the author of the hymns (in Neale’s translation) Fierce was the wild billow, and The day is past and over.

		Gregory was now solemnly installed in the See of Constantinople by Meletius and the other members of the Synod, as it was thought expedient for the greater benefit of the Church to make an exception to the rule that no bishop (Gregory had been Bishop of Sasime) should be transferred to another See.
		Socrates further relates that the Macedonian bishops had then left Constantinople, and everywhere addressed letters to their adherents, warning them against the acceptance of the Nicene faith; but that the one hundred and fifty orthodox bishops who remained at Constantinople had confirmed the Nicene faith.
		Because, however, in the Prisca the canons of Constantinople are only placed after those of the fourth General Council, the Ballerini brothers conclude that they were not contained at all in the oldest Greek collections of canons, and were inserted after the Council of Chalcedon.

		The Bishop of Constantinople, however, shall have the prerogative of honour after the Bishop of Rome; because Constantinople is New Rome.
		In addition to all this, and on account of the narrow limits of the appointed time which allowed of no preparation for a longer journey, nor of communicating with the bishops of our communion in the provinces and of obtaining their consent, the journey to Rome was for the majority impossible.

		And the clergy of Constantinople exclaimed, "It is a few who cry out, not the whole council which speaks." So it was determined, that the letter of Leo should be lawfully examined by the council, and a definition of faith be written by the synod itself.
		In the East the office was held by ecclesiastics; thus, John, presbyter and "advocate" was employed, at the Council of Constantinople in 448, to summon Eutyches (Mansi, vii.
		Thus gradually the practice was formed of controversies being decided by bishops of other patriarchates or exarchates at Constantinople, to the setting aside of the proper superior metropolitan, an example of which we have seen in that famous Synod of Constantinople, A.D. 448, at which the case of Eutyches was the first time brought forward.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Monophysites and Monophysitism
		At Constantinople Anatolius was scarcely his enemy; the minister Aspar was probably his friend; but the Emperor Leo certainly desired to acquiesce in the demands for Timothy's deposition addressed to him by the orthodox bishops of Egypt and by Pope St. Leo, and he punished the murderers of Proterius at once.
		it was not, however, till Anatolius was dead (3 July, 458) and had been succeeded by St. Gennadius, that the Emperor put into effect the opinion he had elicited from all the bishops of the East in the "Encyclia", by exiling Ælurus first to Gangrus in Paphlagonia, and then in 460 to the Cheronesus.

		Because, through the quarrels and evidence on both sides, no decision could be reached, Patriarch Anatolius suggested that the Orthodox and the heretics each write down their confession of faith, and that they be put into the coffin that contained the relics of St Euphemia.
		In the time of the Emperor Heraclius, the relics of St Euphemia were translated from Chalcedon to Constantinople, to the church dedicated to her near the Hippodrome.
		She was baptised in Constantinople by Patriarch Polyeuctus, and was greatly zealous for the Orthodox faith in Russia.

		And it should not be forgotten that Patriarch Anatolius of Constantinople wrote a letter of apology to the Pope for this attempt at an innovative canonical insertion.
		It is clear that they wanted to give Constantinople more power over the temporal ecclesiastical affairs of the Church in the East because it was the center of the empire and of worldly affairs.
		And the claim that this indicates that the Primacy of Rome is merely the same as this is clearly unfounded and in fact contradicted by the council.

		It is sacrilege to degrade a bishop to the rank of a presbyter; but, if they are for just cause removed from episcopal functions, neither ought they to have the position of a Presbyter; and if they have been displaced without any charge, they shall be restored to their episcopal dignity.
		And Anatolius, the most reverend Archbishop of Constantinople, said: If those who are alleged to have been removed from the episcopal dignity to the order of presbyter, have indeed been condemned for any sufficient causes, clearly they are not worthy of the honour of a presbyter.

		But Anatolius, the bishop of the royal city, prevented him; not, indeed, that he was able to find any fault with the written statement of Timothy, but he was very uneasy lest, if a Synod were assembled, it might put an end to all the transactions of Chalcedon.
		Accordingly, Anatolius persuaded the king not to assemble a Synod, but by means of written letters, called Encyclicals, to inquire what the mind of the bishops was respecting the Synod of Chalcedon and the consecration of Timothy.
		Now that Anatolius of Constantinople was the one to instigate the bishops to make these statements to the king in the Encyclicals, you will learn from his letter to the king which I have written below.

	St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary - Beyond Dialogue: The Quest for Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Unity ...
		The “guardians of Orthodoxy” in Constantinople were less than enthusiastic about the emperor’s ecumenical initiatives whether towards the Armenians or towards the Latins.[17] Perhaps more importantly, with the Battle of Myriocephalon (1176) the last remnants of Byzantine hegemony in eastern Anatolia were swept away, eliminating whatever political advantages either side might have gained by reunion.
		Thus at III Constantinople the contemporary monothelites were seen as holding, among other things, the heresy of Apollinarius, who had held that Jesus Christ did not possess a human rational soul (nous) - a heresy which, according to III Constantinople, was condemned at I Constantinople (381 A.D.).
		In fact the story of I Constantinople is much more complex than a reading simply of the acts of III Constantinople would suggest; at I Constantinople itself, the question of Apollinarius’ teaching seems to have been tangential at most.
