Quote from Letter 6,2 to the clergy and people of the church of Ravenna. September 595
(For) he [bishop Marinianus] venerates the holy Nicene synod, in which Arius was condemned, the first at Ephesus, in which Nestorius was condemned, and the holy synod of Chalcedon, in which the same Nestorius was condemned, with dioscorus and Eutyches. But if anyone ever presumes to say anything against the faith of these four synods, and against the tome and definition of Pope Leo of holy memory let him be anathema.
And so, receiving the fullest satisfaction, love your pastor with wholesome charity and a pure heart, so that the intercession of the same pastor, poured out more purely before God, can be to your advantage.
