Quote from Letter 9.26 to John, bishop of Syracuse. October 598
For consider what they say about the church of
Constantinople, who could doubt that it is subject to the apostolic see? And
our most pious Lordship, the emperor, and out brother, bishop of the same city,
admit this continually. And yet, if this or another church has some good
feature, I myself am prepared to imitate even my inferiors in what is good,
while I prohibitt the from illegal acts. For foolish is the man who thinks
himself better that others, but refuses to learn from the good qualities that
he sees in others.
