Quote from Letter 9.27 to John, bishop of Syracuse. October 598
For, in that he says that he is subject to the
apostolic see, if any fault is found in bishops, I know not what bishop is not
subject to it. But when fault does not demand it, all are equal in accordance
with the degree of humility.
However, have a talk with the aforesaid most eloquent
Martin, as your Fraternity wants to do, and discuss what he should do. We have
replied to him briefly over the case, because we ought not also to believe men
unknown to us, over any such accusation.
But as you see him in person, if
you consider that something more definite should be said to him we entrust this
to your Charity, as we are certain of your love, by the grace of almighty God.
And whatever you do, have no doubt that it was done by us.
