INNOCENT I

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 577 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INNOCENT I .,
pope
  from 402 to 417, was the son of
Pope
  Anastasius I. It was during his papacy that the siege of Rome by Alaric (408) took place, when, according to a doubtful anecdote of Zosimus, the ravages of plague and
famine
  were so frightful, and help seemed so far off, that papal permission was granted to sacrifice and pray to the
heathen
  deities; the pope was, however, absent from Rome on a mission to Honorius at Ravenna at the time of the sack in 410. He lost no opportunity of maintaining and extending the authority of the Roman see as the ultimate resort for the
settlement
  of all disputes; and his still extant communications to Victricius of Rouen, Exuperius of Toulouse, Alexander of Antioch and others, as well as his action on the appeal made to him by Chrysostom against Theophilus of Alexandria, show that opportunities of the kind were numerous and varied. He took a decided view on the Pelagian controversy, confirming the decisions of the synod of the province of pro-consular Africa held in Carthage in 416, which had been sent to him. He wrote in the same year in a similar sense to the fathers of the Numidian synod of Mileve who,
Augustine
  being one of their number, had addressed him. Among his letters are one to Jerome and another to John,
bishop
  of Jerusalem, regarding annoyances to which the first named had been subjected by the Pelagians at. Bethlehem. He died on the 12th of
March
  417, and in the Roman Church is commemorated as a confessor along with Saints
Nazarius
 ,
Celsus
  and
Victor
 , martyrs, on the 28th of July. His successor was Zosimus.
