Topic: Henoticon


  
  The Catholic Encyclopedia - Henoticon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
The story of the Henoticon forms a chapter in that of the Monophysite heresy in the fifth and sixth centuries.
It will be noticed that the Henoticon carefully avoids speaking of nature or person, avoids the standard Catholic formula (one Christ in two natures), approves of Peter Fullo's expression (one of the Trinity was incarnate), names only the first three councils with honour, and alludes vaguely but disrespectfully to Chalcedon.
The Henoticon was addressed in the first place to the Egyptians, but was then applied to the whole empire.

 Patriarch Acacius of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Talaia refused to subscribe to it and retired to Rome (482-483), where his cause was taken up with great vigour by letters of Pope Simplicius urging Acacius to check the progress of heresy elsewhere and at Alexandria (Simplic.
The condemnation of Acacius, which had been made in the name of the Pope, was repeated in the name of the council of Chalcedon, and the schism was complete in 485.
The Henoticon failed to restore unity to the East, and in 519 the Byzantine emperor Justin I submitted to Pope Hormisdas, and the condemnation of Acacius was recognized by the church of Constantinople.

The "Henoticon" was drawn up, and as it did not directly mention the council of Chalcedon and a hypothetical allusion in it was capable of being construed in a depreciatory sense, it could be accepted by those who, like Mongus, had hitherto rejected that council's decrees.
This party of the centre was in communion with Peter Mongus, who had at once signed the "Henoticon," and had had it read in church at a public festival and openly commended it to the adoption of the faithful.
The first act of his successor, Felix II., was an indignant rejection of the "Henoticon," as an insult to the council of Chalcedon, as an audacious act of the emperor Zeno, who dared to dictate articles of faith, and as a seed-plot of impiety (Theod.

 Symmachian Forgeries
The "Henoticon," so fruitful a source of dissension in the East, became also the watchword of rival parties in the West.
On his death in 498 a contested election ensued, exasperated by differences of opinion on the "Henoticon" and the schisms in the East.
This choice was fatal to the restoration of peace in the East on the terms of the "Henoticon." Pope and emperor hurled at one another charges of heresy and messages of defiance.

He at once resumed his career of violence, expelling orthodox bishops who refused to sign the Henoticon and performing uncanonical ordinations, especially that of the notorious Xenaias (Philoxenus) to the see of Hierapolis (Theophanes p.115).
He was condemned and anathematized by a synod of 42 Western bishops at Rome 485, and excommunicated.

 Peter Mongus
John had quarrelled with Acacius, patriarch of Constantinople, and refused to sign Zeno's Henoticon (482); so he was expelled, the emperor changed his attitude, and supported Mongus (482).
He had signed the Henoticon and was therefore inserted in Acacius's diptychs as Patriarch of Alexandria.
When Acacius died and was succeeded by Flavitas (or Fravitas, 489-90) Mongus wrote to the new patriarch again condemning Chalcedon and encouraging him in his schism with Rome.

 A HISTORY OF THE CHURCH To the Eve of the Reformation : L.9, C.1.
This document is the Henoticon, and its author was the Patriarch of Constantinople Acacius.
The issue of the Henoticon, whatever the hopes of its authors, was a triumph for the Monophysites.
They, too, signed the Henoticon and assisting publicly, in their official capacity as the pope's legates, at the liturgy when Acacius pontificated, crowned his tortuous betrayal of the faith of Chalcedon with the appearance of the papal sanction.

 John Talaia
The situation was further complicated by the publication of the famous "Henoticon" (482), by which Zeno and Acacius hoped to conciliate the Monophysites (see HENOTICON).
So also he was the adviser of the next pope, Felix II (or III, 483-492), in the great controversy about Mongus and the "Henoticon" that led to the Acacian schism.
He stayed at Rome under the pope's protection (always of course opposed to Mongus and the "Henoticon") helping the papal court with his advice and knowledge of Eastern affairs.

 After Chalcedon - Orthodoxy in the 5th/6th Centuries
The Henoticon was understood to be an Imperial statement of faith which abrogated Chalcedon and the Tome of Leo.
At a synod held at Tyre the Henoticon was explained as abrogating the Council and the doctrinal statements which it issued, and which were viewed as additions to the faith, were anathematised.
Both supporters and opponents of Chalcedon could co-exist in a compromise position based on the Henoticon but as the position of the opponents was increasingly established in the empire the requirement to explicitly anathematise Chalcedon meant that in all the great Sees it was the non-Chalcedonians who held the most important positions.

A strong admonitory letter was addressed by Felix to Acacius, and another in milder terms to Zeno, the authors of the "Henoticon." All remonstrance proving vain, Felix fulminated an anathema against Acacius, deposing and excommunicating him, July 28, A.D. 484 (Liberat.

 ST. FELIX II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
Alarmed by the hold that the Monophysites had on Egypt and Syria, Zeno issued his famous Henoticon (act of union) and ordered all to subscribe to it.
This Henoticon was a creed drawn up by Acacius, the hitherto orthodox patriarch of Constantinople, and Peter, the Monophysite patriarch of Alexandria.
It was orthodox in what it said, but implicitly it condoned the Monophysite heresy by omitting the decision of the Council of Chalcedon and the letter of Pope Leo to Flavian.

 A History of the General Councils - AD 325 through AD 1870 - Mgr. Philip Hughes
The Henoticon of 482 was more subtly contrived than the short-lived edict of Basiliscus.
It spoke of the traditional faith in which alone all Christians are baptised, and upon which the preservation of the state depends, and proceeded to say that this faith was that of the councils of Nicaea, of Constantinople (381), and Ephesus.
The pope--Felix III- -excommunicated Acacius for accepting the Henoticon, and deposed him from his see, and with him excommunicated all who remained in communion with him (484).

 Newman Reader - Development of Christian Doctrine - Chapter 6.3
The Acephali, though separating from the latter Peter for that advocacy, and accused by Leontius of being Gaianites [Note 88] (Eutychians), are considered by Facundus as Monophysites [Note 89].
The Henoticon declared that no symbol of faith but that of the Nicene Creed, commonly so called, should be received in the Churches; it anathematized the opposite heresies of Nestorius and Eutyches, and it was silent on the question of the "One" or "Two Natures" after the Incarnation.
The Henoticon was in force, and at the Imperial command had been signed by all the Patriarchs and Bishops throughout the Eastern Empire [Note 99].

At his ascension to the papacy the Eastern Church had been split by the Act of Union (Henoticon) of Emperor Zeno, which was intended to reconcile the Church and Eutychianism.
The pope excommunicated the eastern bishops Peter the Tanner, Peter Mongus, and the Patriarch Acacius, and thus paved the way for the healing of the schism, 518, during the reign of Justinian.
He also drew up the conditions to which the Africans who had apostatized during the Vandal persecutions were required to subscribe.

 Milton V. Anastos - 7. The Acacian schism (484-519) and Pope Gelasius Ι (492-96)
But a schism(76) ensued in 484 because Pope Felix III (483-92) condemned the dogmatic decree known as the Henoticon ("Unifier"), which the Emperor Zeno (474-91) had issued in 482 in order to put an end to the disaffection of the monophysites.
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.

This wholesale deposition of bishops had not taken place when the letter was written, for Philoxenus says that Zeno is ready to drive away from the churches the enemies of the Cross.
Philoxenus writes to confirm the glad tidings already proclaimed in the churches (probably the promulgation of the Henoticon and the overthrow of the rebels).
He praises the holiness of the monks, the purity of their life, and the rigor of 89 their rule.

 The Consequences of Chalcedon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
The Emperor judged that this decree, which would be acceptable to the Monophysites, could also be signed by the orthodox, as, so far as it went (apart from the clause about Chalcedon), it was patient of a Catholic interpretation.
To be in communion with Mongos, an out-and-out Monophysite, was to cease to be Catholic.
And, as Hormisdas later wrote, "To receive the Tome of Leo and to maintain in the diptychs the name of Acacius are contradictory things." Felix excommunicated his treacherous legates too, while Acacius, for his part, removed the name of the pope from his diptychs.

 The Christology of St Severus of Antioch - Part 1
Maiuma had been the episcopal seat of Peter the Iberian, one of the bishops who had consecrated Timothy Aelurus, and Severus was part of this tradition of opposition.
He rejected the Henoticon of Zeno, which was an imperial attempt at conciliation between the pro and anti-Chalcedonian parties, because it dealt with the stumbling block of Chalcedon by ignoring it.
He also affirmed the Henoticon of Zeno as an Orthodox document, but he also explicity anathematised Chalcedon, the Tome of Leo, Nestorius and Eutyches, Diodore and Theodore of Tarsus.

In 484, Felix also excommunicated Peter Mongus -- an act, which brought about a schism between East and West, that was not healed for thirty-five years.
This Peter, being a time-server and of a crafty deposition, ingratiated himself with the emperor and Acacius by subscribing to the Henoticon, and was thereupon, to the displeasure of many of the bishops, admitted to communion by Acacius.
Felix, having convened a synod, sent legates to the emperor and Acacius, with the request that they should expel Peter Mongus from Alexandria and that Acacius himself should come to Rome to explain his conduct.

From the beginning of his pontificate the affairs of the Greek Church occupied his special attention.
At Constantinople the Acacian schism, which had broken out in consequence of the "Henoticon" of the Emperor Zeno, and which had caused the separation of the Greek and Roman Churches, still held sway (see ACACIUS, PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE).
The Emperor Anastasius (491-518), Zeno's successor, maintained the "Henoticon"; he became more and more inclined towards Monophysitism, and persecuted the bishops who refused to repudiate the Council of Chalcedon.

 April 19: Pope John I between a rock and hard place
Most eastern bishops had accepted the Henoticon, a statement of faith carefully crafted by bishop Acacius and promulgated by emperor Zeno to allow the Monophysite heresy to persist without seeming to violate any orthodox tenets.
Western bishops, led by Rome, repudiated the Henoticon because it ignored statements made by the Council of Chalcedon regarding the relationship between Christ's Godhead and manhood.
Emperor Justin made Theodoric more suspicious, furious even, by depriving Arians of their churches in the eastern half of the empire.

What is known is that he succeeded in persuading the Emperor to mitigate his treatment of the Arians and thus avoid reprisals against the Catholics in Italy.
The Pope's visit also brought about the reconciliation of the Western and Eastern Churches which had been plagued by a schism since 482 when Zeno's Henoticon had been published.
However, Theodoric had been becoming more suspicious with each passing day.
