300 BISHOPS HAVE DEPOSED OR CENSURED BISHOPS. This Pope Gelasius T. proposed for a rule, " That not only a me- tropolitan, but every other bishop, has a right to separate any persons or any place from the catholic communion, according to the rule by which his heresy is already condemned."' And upon this account the popes for so long time quarrelled with the see of Constantinople, because they did not expunge Acacius from the roll of bishops, who had communicated with heretics.' So St Cyprian rejected Marci- anus, bishop of Arles, for adhering to the Novatians; so Athanasius was said to have deposed Arian bishops, and substituted others in their places; so Acacius and his complices deposed Macedonius and divers other bishops.' And the bishops of those times, factiously applying a rule taken for granted then, xaAelaou ça7XTí)aovç, " deposed one another. "4 So Maximus, bishop of Jerusalem, deposed Athan- asius; so Eusebius of Nicomedia threatened to depose Alexander of Constantinople if he would not admit Arius to communion.' Acacius and his complices " extruded" Maximus, bishop of Jerusalem. He also deposed and. " expelled" Cyril of Jerusalem, and deposed many other bishops at Constantinople.' Cyril deposed Nestorius, and Nestorius deposed Cyril andMemnon. Cyril and Juvenalis deposed John of Antioch.' John of Antioch, with his bishops, deposed Cyril and Memnon.' Yea, after the synod of Ephesus, John of Antioch, "gathering togethermany bishops, deposed Cyril."' Stephanus [says] concerning Bassianus, " Because he had entered into the church with swords, he was expelled out of it again by the holy fathers, both by Leo of Rome, the imperial city, and by Flavianus, by the bishop of Alexandria, and also by the bishop of Antioch. "10 Anatolius of Con- stantinople rejected Timotheus of Alexandria. Acacius, bishop of Constantinople, rejected Petrus Fullo.
