| | Milton V. Anastos - 7. The Acacian schism (484-519) and Pope Gelasius Î (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. |
 | | Patriarchs Calendio of Antioch and John Talaia of Alexandria, both of whom had been guilty of civil offenses, the former of treason, the latter of perjury. |
