Pope St. Hormisdas

Pope St. Hormisdas

?–523 CE · Frosinone (Frusino)

Hormisdas, a married deacon from Frosinone before entering the clergy, achieved one of the papacy's signal diplomatic victories: in 519 he ended the thirty-five-year Acacian schism. The 'Formula of Hormisdas,' signed by the patriarch of Constantinople and Eastern bishops, affirmed the see of Rome's role as guarantor of orthodox faith and condemned the leaders of the schism. It became a touchstone for later claims of Roman primacy. Working with Emperor Justin I, he restored communion between East and West and reinforced Chalcedonian doctrine. He was the father of Pope Silverius, an unusual instance of a papal lineage.
