LEO II

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 432 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LEO II .,
pope
  from August 682 to July 683, was a Sicilian by
birth
 , and succeeded Agatho I. Agatho had been represented at the
sixth
 
oecumenical
 
council
  (that of
Constantinople
  in 68r), where
Pope
  Honorius I. was anathematized for his views in the Monothelite controversy as a favourer of heresy, and the only fact of permanent historical
interest
  with regard to Leo is that he wrote once and again in approbation of the decision of the
council
  and in condemnation of Honorius, whom he regarded as one who profana proditione immaculatam fidem subvertere conatus est. In their bearing upon the question of papal infallibility these words have excited considerable attention and controversy, and prominence is given to the circumstance that in the Greek text of the
letter
  to the emperor in which the phrase occurs the milder expression srapexc'emoev (subverti permiiit) is used for subvertere conatus est. This
Hefele
  in his Conciliesgeschiclite (iii. 294) regards as alone expressing the true meaning of Leo. It was during Leo's pontificate that the dependence of the see of Ravenna upon that of Rome was finally settled by imperial edict. Benedict II. succeeded him.
