Feastday: February 18
Died: 449

Patriarch of Constantinople from 446 or 447, succeeding St. Proclus. Refusing to give Em�peror Theodosius II a bribe upon becoming patriarch and making the emperor�s sister Pulcherius a deaconess, Flavian received hostile treat�ment from the imperial court. Flavian also started the condemnation of Eutyches, who began the heresy of Monophysitism. This led to his being deposed and exiled at the so-called �Robber Synod� at Ephesus in 449, whereupon the famous �Tome� of dogmatic letters of Pope Leo I the Great was ignored. Appealing to the Pope, Flavian was beaten so mercilessly that he was mortally wounded and died three days later in exile. He was proclaimed a saint and martyr by the Council of Chalcedon in 451.

It is wonderful to see in this article how the Good Lord uses His infinite Power to bring about the events that conserve the Catholic faith intact
