HORMISDAS , See also:

pope from 514 to 523 in See also:succession to See also:Symmachus, was a native of See also:Campania. He is known as having succeeded in obtaining the See also:reunion of the Eastern and Western Churches, which had been separated since the See also:excommunication of Acacius in 484. After two unsuccessful attempts under the See also:emperor See also:Anastasius I., Hormisdas had no difficulty in coming to an understanding in 518 with his successor See also:Justin. Legates were despatched to See also:Constantinople; the memorial of the schismatic patriarchs was condemned; and See also:union was resumed with the See also:Holy See. Details of this transaction have come down to us in the Collectio Avellana (Corpus script. cool. Vindobon., vol. See also:xxv., Nos. I05-203; cf. Andreas Thiel, Epp. Rom. See also:Pont. i. 741 seq.).
