Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Councils of the Church, Vol. 5 of 5: From the Original Documents
Some critics of previous parts of the history have ex pressed surprise that the Editor has not more frequently annotated the statements of the Author. Such a temptation has frequently occurred; but it was thought better, where no question of fact was involved, to leave the Author to speak for himself, his point of view being quite well understood. More over, we believe that history is the best controversialist. When we compare the letter of S. Leo to the fourth (ecumenical Council with that of Pope Agatho to the sixth, it becomes quite clear that an explanation of the difference must be attempted from two Opposite points of view.
