Person
Leo I of Rome
bishop 440–461
Bishop of Rome
Attested. The Tome and the legates' protest are in the acts.
Leo's Tome, a letter of 449, states that each nature in Christ does what is proper to it in communion with the other. Ephesus II would not read it. Chalcedon acclaimed it. Leo did not attend Chalcedon. His legates objected to canon 28, which ranked Constantinople just after Rome. He accepted the doctrinal definition and resisted the canon.
