  Patriarch Proclus of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the death of Sisinnius, the famous Nestorius succeeded, and early in 429, on a festival of Virgin Mary, Proclus preached the celebrated sermon on the Incarnation inserted in the beginning of the Acts of the council of Ephesus.
Proclus replied next year in the celebrated letter known as the Tome of Proclus, which he sent to the Eastern bishops asking them to sign it and to join in condemning the doctrines arraigned by the Armenians.
Proclus replied that while he desired the extracts subjoined to his Tome to be condemned, he had not attributed them to Theodore or any individual, not desiring the condemnation of any person.

 Proclus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proclus Lycaeus (February 8, 412 – April 17, 485), surnamed "The Successor" or "diadochos" (Greek Πρόκλος ὁ Διάδοχος Próklos ho Diádokhos), was a Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, one of the last major Greek philosophers (see Damascius).
Proclus himself was a devotee of all of the pagan cults in Athens, considering that the power of the gods was present in all these various ways.
From Proclus philosophy is important, because it is one of the primary ways to rescue the soul from a fascination with the body, and restore it to its station.

Nestorius was deposed at the Council of Ephesus (431) and Proclus was on the point of being made patriarch, but "some influential persons interfered on the ground of its being forbidden by the ecclesiastical canon that a person nominated to one bishopric should be translated to another" (Soc., VII, xxxv).
Proclus replied in an epistle (often called the "Tome of St. Proclus"), in which he required the propositions to be condemned.

Proclus contended zealously against the heresies which the latter strove to introduce into the church, com­bating them even in a sermon preached before Nestorius himself.
On the deposition of Nestorius, Proclus was again proposed as his successor ; but his elevation was again opposed, though on what grounds does not appear very clearly ascertained.
Proclus bestowed a great deal of pains upon his style, which is terse and sententious, but is crowded with antitheses and rhetorical points, and betrays a laboured endeavour to reiterate the same sentiment in every possible variety of form.

Complaints by Alexandrian and Jerusalem patriarchs that Euthemius was a heretic led to the Constantinople patriarch being deposed by a local council in 496.
Proclus was born about 410 in Constantinople and studied philosophy under Olympiodorus at Alexandria, then at Athens under a Plutarch and Syrianus, whom he succeeded as teacher at the Academy.
Proclus emphasized the unity of God and the universe in a hierarchy that descended from being, the ultimate cause, to power (of the cause) to mind (activity of the cause) to the world soul (power of that activity) and finally to becoming, the world of appearances.

His first care was the funeral of his predecessor, and he then sent both to Cyril and Patriarch John of Antioch of Antioch the usual synod ical letters announcing his appointment, both of whom approved of it.
In 438 he transported to Constantinople from Comana, and interred with great honour in the church of the Apostle s, the remains of his old master Saint John Chrysostom, and thereby reconciled to the church his adherents who had separated in consequence of his condemnation.

After the exile and death of St John Chrysostom, the holy Patriarch of Constantinople Sisinius (426-427) consecrated St Proclus as bishop of the city of Kyzikos, but under the influence of Nestorian heretics he was expelled by his flock there.
St Proclus then returned to the capital and preached the Word of God in the churches of Constantinople, strengthening listeners in the Orthodox Faith and denouncing the impiety of the heretics.
By the efforts of St Proclus, the relics of St John Chrysostom were transferred from Comana to Constantinople in the time of the holy emperor St Theodosius II (408-450).

 Catholic Encyclopedia: NESTORIUS AND NESTORIANISM
Proclus (who was to succeed later in his candidature) preached a flowery, but perfectly orthodox, sermon, yet extant, to which Nestorius replied in an extempore discourse, which we also possess.
Meanwhile Nestorius was being attacked by his own clergy and simultaneously by St. Cyril, Patriarch of Alexandria, who first denounced him, though without giving a name, in an epistle to all the monks of Egypt, then remonstrated with him personally by letter, and finally wrote to the pope.
The Anathematisms were at once attacked, on behalf of John, Patriarch of Antioch, in defence of the Antiochene School, by Andrew of Samosata and the great Theodoret of Cyrus.

 Ammonius
It is thought that most of his material comes from Proclus' lectures, but that Ammonius has polished up what he had in his notes of those lectures, then added material of his own or from other sources.
In Proclus we see signs of such hour-long divisions, as well as a division of the lecture on an individual passage into discussion of its doctrine (theôria), sometimes quite wide-ranging, followed by its wording (lexis); signs of this division are still present in Ammonius' in Int.

However, Joseph Smith's 1842 promise, Hyrum Smith's patriarchal blessings in 1843, Brigham Young's 1843 diary, William Clayton's 1844-45 diary, Heber Kimball's 1845 diary, and patriarchal blessings by John Smith from 1844 on and by Joseph Young in 1878 all show that LDS women receive the Melchizedek priesthood through the endowment alone....
I don't think it is settled at all that the Brethen were unaware of these doctrines or their implications for patriarchal authority.
Their authority was not based on any patriarchal stamp of approval, but on celestial marriage and the second anointing, a actualization of all that God has to offer mortal men.

When St. Proclus was a novice under Chrysostom, during the time that he was patriarch, it was his duty to announce visitors.
Proclus went to announce him to the patriarch but, looking through the partly opened door, saw a man bent over the patriarch, whispering something in his ear while the patriarch wrote.
Meanwhile, Proclus told the nobleman to come back the next evening, while he himself remained in amazement, wondering who the man with the patriarch was, and how he managed to enter the patriarch's chamber unannounced.

 THE COUNCIL OF EPHESUS
In 433, John of Antioch helped to reconcile the Patriarchates of Alexandria and Constantinople by signing a declaration condemning Nestorius, who had retired to his monastery, but was exiled to Egypt in the year 436, where he remained until his death [and where, at one point, he was taken captive by the Nubians].
Six years before the Council of Ephesus had taken place, Proclus had been a strong candidate to succeed Atticus as Patriarch of Constantinople upon the death of the latter, but he was passed over in favor of Sissinius.
Proclus at last became the Patriarch of Constantinople, and it is certain that his flock were quite content to see this staunch defender of Mary's dignity reigning in their city.

This pan-orthodox request, which had been expressed through Patriarch Bartholomew, was justified as a promotion for the “restoration of some traumatic experiences that were due to historical adventures of past years” and as “a great contribution for the normalisation of the relations and the creation of appropriate climate of brotherly love” between the two Churches.
Finally, the Patriarch underlined the fact that ”the natural and rightful position” of the Holy Relics “is in the Sacred Patriarchal Cathedral of Constantinople, of which they were Archbishops”.

The second general council, held at Constantinople A. 381, raised the bishop of that church to a dignity and precedence second only to the bishop of Old Rome; and he acquired jurisdiction over the entire civil diocese of Thrace, which comprised a large portion of European Turkey.
Ere long the patriarch of Constantinople extended his authority over the ancient exarchates or patriarchates of Ephesus and Cæsarea, which, were formally placed under his jurisdiction by the council of Chalcedon, A.D. And the whole of Greece also became subject to him.
A tract ascribed to Proclus, patriarch of Constantinople in the early part of the fifth century, certainly speaks of the liturgy of Chrysostom.

CHAPTER XI THE authority of the Dionysian writings is for us (whatever may have been the case in earlier and less critical times) derived rather from the use made of them to express the received doctrines of the Church than from any view that may be entertained of the identity or position of the writer.
No mention is made of the Dionysian writings by any author earlier than the sixth century: nor are they mentioned by Eusebius or St Jerome in their catalogues of ecclesiastical authors.
It is contended that the style is due to the early philosophical education of the Areopagite, which would naturally have imparted to it many of the characteristics of Neoplatonism; it may fairly be considered as agreeing with the presumed date of the author.
