                   priests of the whole East.... We cannot suffer


               that anything which relates to the state of the


               church,                    however                       manifest                     and


               unquestionable, should be moved without the


               knowledge of your holiness, who is THE HEAD


               OF  ALL  THE  HOLT  CHURCHES;  for  in  all



               things,  as  we  have  already  declared,  we  are


               anxious to increase the honor and authority of


               your apostolic chair.” — Croly, pp. 114, 115.



               “The  emperor’s  letter,”  continues  Mr.  Croly,


               “must  have  been  sent  before  the  25th  of


               March,  533;  for  in  his  letter  of  that  date  to


               Epiphanius,  he  speaks  of  its  having  been


               already dispatched, and repeats his decision


               that  all  affairs  touching  the  church  shall  be


               referred to the pope, ‘head of all bishops, and


               the true and effective corrector of heretics.’”
