Felix III was pope from March 13, 483 to 492.
His first act was to repudiate the Henoticon[?], a deed of union, supposedly originating with patriarch Acacius of Constantinople and published by the emperor Zeno with the view of allaying the strife between the Monophysites and their opponents in the Orthodox Church.
In 484, Felix also excommunicated Peter Mongus[?], who had taken the See of Alexandria - an act which brought about a schism between East and West that was not healed until 519.

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.
When their treason was made known at Rome by Simeon, one of the "Acaemeti" monks, Felix convened a synod of seventy-seven bishops in the Lateran Basilica, in which Acacius as well as the papal legates were also excommunicated.

Pope Felix III convened in 484 a Roman synod of sixty-seven bishops that condemned the emperor's decree, deposed and excommunicated Acacius, Peter Mongus, and Peter Fuller.
Euphemius immediately recognized the Council of Chalcedon, restored the pope's name to his diptychs, and broke with Peter Mongus, who died in October of the year of Euphemius's accession (490).
Pope Felix insisted that heretics and favorers of heresy should not be prayed for publicly; Euphemius repeated his attempts at reconciliation to Pope Gelasius I, but the problem of his predecessors remained; Euphemius could not remove their names from the diptychs wihtout causing embarrassment or insult to those they had baptized and ordained.

This period of reflective solitude was not to last for long, however, as four years later, Pope Pelagius II called Gregory out of the monastery, ordained him as a deacon and sent him as papal representative to the Imperial Court in Constantinople for seven years.
With the Emperor’s approval, Gregory was consecrated as pope, bishop of Rome, successor to Peter, one of the greatest men to hold that office.
In administrating the lands owned by the papacy, Gregory insisted upon fairness, saying that the purse of the church was “not to be polluted by sinful gain.” Gregory used this wealth to help the poor, the destitute, those displaced by war, and to ransom captives.

 Milton V. Anastos - 7. The Acacian schism (484-519) and Pope Gelasius Ι (492-96)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.
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.
During the rupture (484-519), Pope Gelasius went further than his predecessors in asserting the Roman primacy of jurisdiction over the entire Church, East and West, and formulated this doctrine in terms that served as a model for subsequent popes.
