Letter XX.
To Eutyches, an Abbot of
Constantinople.
Leo, the bishop, to his dearly-beloved son, Eutyches,
presbyter.
He thanks him for his information about the revival of
Nestorianism and commends his zeal.
You have brought to our knowledge, beloved, by
your letter that through the activity of some212
| 212 Quesnel is of opinion
that Eutyches’ letter had accused Domnus, Bishop of Antioch, and
Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrus (cf. Lett. CXX., chapters iv. and v.), of
Nestorianizing, and that he thus had gained the approbation of Leo
before his own unsoundness had been made known. | the
heresy of Nestorius has been again reviving. We reply that your
solicitude in this matter has pleased us, since the remarks we have
received are an indication of your mind. Wherefore do not doubt
that the Lord, the Founder of the catholic
Faith, will befriend you in all things. And when we have been
able to ascertain more fully by whose wickedness this happens, we must
make provision with the help of God for the
complete uprooting of this poisonous growth which has long ago been
condemned. God keep thee safe, my
beloved son. Dated 1st June, in the consulship of the illustrious
Postumianus and Zeno (448).E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
