	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Saint Julius I
		The synod was held in the autumn of 340 or 341, under the presidency of the pope, in the titular church of the presbyter Vitus.
		He was entirely orthodox in his views, and, at the request of the pope and other Western bishops, interceded with his brother Constantius, Emperor of the East, in favour of the bishops who had been deposed and persecuted by the Arian party.
		Pope Julius took this occasion to write a letter, which is still extant, to the priests, deacons, and the faithful of Alexandria, to congratulate them on the return of their great pastor.

	Silvester I - LoveToKnow 1911
		SILVESTER I., bishop of Rome from January 314 to December 335, succeeded Melchiades and was followed by Marcus.
		The accounts of his papacy preserved in the Liber pontificalis are little else than a record of the gifts said to have been conferred on the Roman church by Constantine the Great.
		It was certainly known to Pope Adrian in 778, and was inserted in the false decretals towards the middle of the next century.

	Pope St. Marcellus I
		The work of the pope was, however, quickly interrupted by the controversies to which the question of the readmittance of the lapsi into the Church gave rise.
		Nevertheless, it is not known whether this is the date of his death or that of the burial of his remains, after these had been brought back from the unknown quarter to which he had been exiled.
		According to this version, the pope was required by Maxentius, who was enraged at his reorganization of the Church, to lay aside his episcopal dignity and make an offering to the gods.

	Pope Silvester I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pope Silvester I (or Sylvester) was pope from January 314 to December 31, 335, succeeding Pope Miltiades.
		According to the 19th century historian Döllinger, the entire legend of Silvester and Constantine, with all its details of Constantine's leprosy and the proposed bath of blood, cannot have been composed later than the close of the 5th century, while it is certainly alluded to by Gregory of Tours and Bede.
		Pope Silvester II (999-1003) chose the name Silvester in imitation of Silvester I; Silvester II was a close associate of emperor Otto III.

	Pope Silvester & the Council of Nicaea
		That Pope Silvester I was informed from the first about plans for the Council of Nicaea there is no good reason to doubt, however much its likelihood may be downplayed by sectarian prejudice or in misplaced deference to ecumenism among the current generation of historians.
		Both Pope Clement's letter to the Corinthians and Pope Victor's decree rejecting the use of the 14th day of the month Nisan to celebrate Easter in Asia Minor, are exercises of the Pope's universal jurisdiction in the Church, far outside Italy.
		But since the Pope sent two men to represent him at the Council, it seems unreasonable to me that he would not have confirmed the presiding officer if he were not to designate one of his representatives for that position.

		The pope put up with his eccentricity for years but eventually got tired of the prankster's roaming about in the ill-famed districts of the city at night, and decided to punish him once and for all.
		Pope Silvester I was deeply troubled and decided to intervene himself to put an end to the loss of innocent lives.
		Silvester then took a thread from his vestments, tied the dragon, led him on a leash like a tame dog, and handed it over to the faithful who got rid of it.

		Pope Urban VI, elected 1378, was the last Pope who was not already a cardinal at the time of his election.
		Pope John Paul II abolished vote by acclamation and by selection by committee, and henceforth all Popes will be elected by full vote of the Sacred College of Cardinals by ballot.
		The primacy is therefore regarded primarily as a consequence of the Pope's position as bishop of the original capital city of the Roman Empire, a definition explicitly spelled out in the 28th canon of the Council of Chalcedon.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Sylvester I
		The accounts given in all these writings concerning the persecution of Sylvester, the healing and baptism of Constantine, the emperor's gift to the pope, the rights granted to the latter, and the council of 275 bishops at Rome, are entirely legendary.
		The pope, however, took part in the negotiations concerning Arianism and the Council of Nicæa, and the expression ‘omooúsion was probably agreed upon with him before the council.
		No doubt the pope contributed to the development of the liturgy of the Church at Rome.

	The Case of Pope Honorius @ ELCore.Net
		The Acts of the Council were approved by Pope Leo II, and among those whom he anathematizes is “also Honorius, who did not attempt to sanctify this Apostolic Church with the teaching of apostolic tradition, but by profane treachery permitted its purity to be polluted”.
		“The infallibility of the Pope is for the sake of the Church.
		The fact that he is addressing a Pope in a Roman Council does not evacuate the significance of this papalism on the lips of an orthodox bishop from Palestine.

		The popes and the bishops sent the Holy Eucharist to other dignitaries as a token that all were in communion with the one Church founded by Christ, whose sacred body was sent as a visible memorial of that fact.
		Likewise, the popes of the fourth and fifth centuries sent the Holy Eucharist to their priests in Rome to remind them that, although they held separate services in their churches, still they were in communion with him, their chief shepherd.
		In the life of Pope Hilarius (461-468) it is said that a dove made of pure gold was given to the church of St. John surnamed "In Fonte"— the baptistery or baptismal chapel near St. John Lateran.

	Silvester III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Of the three popes that ruled between Benedict IX's first and final reign, Silvester here perhaps stands as my least favorite, although it's not his fault that he couldn't hold things together.
		Curiously, for a man who was supposed to not want to be pope, Silvester didn't give up on the idea after he was removed.
		And Silvester was a decent enough man to give up his ambitions after Henry defrocked him, so I can't be too hard on him.

	UPON THIS ROCK?
		Silvester I was bishop of Rome when Constantine became emperor and he (Constantine), according to typical Roman arrogance, regarded himself as Head of the Church and presided over the first world council of Nicaea (325 AD).
		Leo I (440-461 AD) is considered by some historians as the first "Pope." With the condition of the Empire and its weak emperors, Leo became the strong man of the hour and taking advantage claimed himself (by divine appointment, of course) "Primate of all Bishops" and obtained from Emperor Valentinian III imperial recognition.
		Phillip the Fair, King of France became the leading monarch of Europe and the papacy was brought into complete subjection to the state and for 70 years the Papal Palace was removed from Rome to Avignon on the south border of France and was a mere tool of the French Court.

	The Donation of Constantine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The Donation of Constantine, whose oldest manuscript cannot be surely dated before 800, purports to be a grant of quasi-imperial powers over Rome, Italy, "and all the Western regions" to silent Pope Silvester I from Constantine, whom Silvester is said to have baptized, as he went east to establish his new capital in Constantinople.
		Neither he nor Popes Stephen III or Paul I ever claimed all of Italy for the Papacy, nor referred to Constantine or any other Roman emperors as the source of their claims.
		The repeated references in the letters and documents of Pope Stephen III to demands for the return of cities from the Lombards do not by any means necessarily imply some secret reading of the Donation of Constantine.
