Excerpt from Patriarch Dositheus of Jerusalem’s Commentary on the Council of Constantinople (879-880)

  

Leo the Wise threw out the most sacred Nicholas and promoted Euthymius—yet Euthymius was a lawful patriarch and is called a saint. While Saint Eustathius was still alive. Meletius became patriarch of Antioch—yet Meletius, too, is saint. Constantius exiled Pope Liberius and promoted Felix to pope of Rome, whom the Latins hold to have been a lawful pope, even though he was Arianizing. When the great Justinian had ejected and exiled the most sacred Pope Silverius by fore at the advice of Vigilius, he promoted this same parricide Vigilius to pope; nevertheless both the Latins and the Church entire hold Vigilius to have been a lawful pope. (The Acts of the Eighth Ecumenical Council [trans. Gregory Heers; Uncut Mountain Press, 2025], 355-56)
