Editing First Council of Constantinople (section)

==Dispute concerning the third canon==
The third canon was a first step in the rising importance of the new imperial capital, just fifty years old, and was notable in that it demoted the patriarchs of Antioch and Alexandria. Jerusalem, as the site of the first church, retained its place of honor. It originally did not elicit controversy, as the Papal legate [[Paschasinus]] and a partisan of his, [[Diogenes of Cyzicus]], reference the canon as being in force during the first session of the [[Council of Chalcedon]].<ref>Richard Price and Michael Gaddis, The Acts of the Council of Chalcedon Vol 1, Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, p. 159</ref> According to Eusebius of Dorlyeum, another Papal ally during Chalcedon, "I myself read this very canon [Canon 3] to the most holy pope in Rome in the presence of the clerics of Constantinople and he accepted it."<ref>Richard Price and Michael Gaddis, The Acts of the Council of Chalcedon Vol 3, Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, p. 89</ref>

Nevertheless, controversy has ensued since then. The status of the canon became questioned after disputes over Canon 28 of the [[Council of Chalcedon]] erupted. [[Pope Leo the Great]],<ref>Ep. cvi in P.L., LIV, 1003, 1005.</ref> declared that this canon had never been submitted to Rome and that their lessened honor was a violation of the Nicene council order. Throughout the next several centuries, the [[Western Christianity|Western Church]] asserted that the Bishop of Rome had supreme authority, and by the time of the [[East–West Schism|Great Schism]] the [[Roman Catholic Church]] based its claim to supremacy on the [[apostolic succession|succession]] of [[St. Peter]]. At the [[Fourth Council of Constantinople (Catholic Church)|Fourth Council of Constantinople]] (869), the Roman legates<ref>[[J. D. Mansi]], XVI, 174.</ref> asserted the place of the bishop of Rome's honor over the bishop of Constantinople's.
After the Great Schism of 1054, in 1215 the [[Fourth Lateran Council]] declared, in its fifth canon, that the Roman Church "by the will of God holds over all others pre-eminence of ordinary power as the mother and mistress of all the faithful".<ref>[http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/lateran4.asp The Canons of the Fourth Lateran Council, 1215]</ref><ref>[[J. D. Mansi]], XXII, 991.</ref> Roman supremacy over the whole world was formally claimed by the new Latin patriarch. The Roman correctores of Gratian,<ref>(1582), at dist. xxii, c. 3.</ref> insert the words: "canon hic ex iis est quos apostolica Romana sedes a principio et longo post tempore non recipit" ("this canon is one of those that the Apostolic See of Rome has not accepted from the beginning and ever since").{{cn|date=October 2024}}

Later on, [[Baronius]] asserted that the third canon was not authentic, not in fact decreed by the council. Contrarily, roughly contemporaneous Greeks maintained that it did not declare supremacy of the [[Bishop of Rome]], but the primacy; "the first among equals", similar to how they today view the [[Bishop of Constantinople]].{{cn|date=October 2024}}
