The Early Church and Peter's Primacy

Copy of the Letter from Juliana Anicia to Hormisdas

Synopsis: Announcing that All Church Disputes Have Been Settled by the Presence of the Legates, and That They Should Not Leave Until Peace is Secured

To my most blessed father, Hormisdas, from Juliana Anicia.

Through the prayers of your blessedness and the arrival of the legates from the principal Apostolic See, the errors of the heretics have been eliminated, and we have gathered in unity to the maternal embrace of the Church on the day of the Holy Resurrection. Therefore, addressing your sanctity with words of veneration, we urge you to instruct the most reverend men you have sent not to depart until, as you have foreseen and as it should be, all that has been rightly arranged by them is firmly established. Thus, with all remnants of past error removed, the unity strengthened by the efforts of your blessedness may be brought to perpetual fulfillment (in the year of our Lord 519).
