Background |
| |
Legitimate son of Pope Boniface I, younger brother to Pope Celestine and grandson of Pope Innocent I. Members of the Theodosian Papal Dynasty that had hereditary rule for over 100 years by the time Leo came to the throne. |
| |
At the time of his birth, his legitimacy and the fact that Popes were married and had children while in Office would not have been questioned in the slightest. The fanatical movement of celibacy that was also accompanied by the promotion of openly homosexual clergy did not emerge until the Papacy of Pope Gregory I (590-604). Until this time, dynastic papal families were expected to produce heirs. |
| |
The real historic anomoly concerning the papacy of Leo is why he did not immediately follow his brother Pope Celestine. This can practicaly be answered by the fact that the rival Pelagius dynasty succeeded in having their candidate Pope Caelestius installed as Pope from 432-440. The Papacy of Sixtus III has always been a deliberate fiction to hide the fact that the Pelagians had a number of Popes. |
| |
All accounts were that Leo had a brilliant strategic mind for politics and treachery. Brilliant in the art of the false promise and manipulating enemies to fight one another. |
| |
Was unyielding in his insistence that all other churches of Christianity bow down to him, especially Dioscorus, successor to St. Cyril of Alexandria. |
| |
The death of Pope Leo remains shrouded in controversy. He is supposed to have survived the attacks and hunt for his head by the Vandals and died no later than 455. The second controversy is that there appears no legitimate Pope was installed until 484 (29 years later) with Pope Felix III (484-493). |
