		Perhaps this young deacon had talents as a medium, but whatever the case, his defense was not strong enough, and Formosus was, predictably, convicted of all charges in what would come to be known as the “Cadaver Synod”.

		He became a strong upholder of the party opposed to Pope Formosus; as this party was not ultimately successful, the writings of its supporters, if they ever existed, have perished.
		However, he seems to have ceased to act as a bishop after the death of Formosus, and was put forward as a candidate for the papacy in 898.
		Sergius at once declared the ordinations conferred by Formosus null; but that he put his two predecessors to death, and by illicit relations with Marozia had a son, who was afterwards John XI, must be regarded as highly doubtful.

	THE STRANGE CASE OF POPE FORMOSUS (This Rock: January 1998)
		According to historian J. Kelly, Formosus was found guilty by Stephen VI of "perjury, violating the canons prohibiting the translation of bishops, and coveting the papacy." He was not accused of professing or teaching a heretical doctrine contrary to the Catholic faith.
		The main charge of those brought against Formosus was the ostensible violation of the fifteenth canon of the Council of Nicaea, which forbade the translation or transfer of a bishop from one see to another, as occurred upon his election to the papacy.
		The nullification of Formosus’s orders was the inevitable consequence of Formosus being found in violation of canon fifteen, which called for such arrangements to be "totally annulled." Whether one judged the orders conferred by Formosus to be annulled depended on whether one found him guilty of breaking this ecclesiastical canon.
