268 Lives of the Saints. [Nov „
But Theodore of the Studium and Plato were not disposed
to pass the matter over so lightly. Theodore wrote a letter
in his own name and that of his uncle, declaring that they
withdrew from the communion of the patriarch on this
account. The separation did not, however, attract notice for
a couple of years, but the logothete of the Drome, or officer
in charge of public conveyances, having asked Joseph, archbishop of Thessalonica, the brother of ©Theodore, how it
was that neither he nor the hegumen of the Studium appeared
in the great church at any of the great festivals, the archbishop answered, " We will not communicate with the steward
canonically excommunicated; we have nothing to say against
the emperors1 and the patriarch." The logothete answered,
with dry severity, "The emperors have no particular need
of your countenance at Thessalonica or anywhere else."
Public attention was now attracted to the fact of the
abstention of Theodore, his brother, and uncle, from the
communion of the patriarch and the steward, and a schism
was at once effected. One party among the inhabitants of
Constantinople sided with the recalcitrants, and refused to
communicate with their bishop, another party held aloof from
the Studium and the family of Theodore.
S. Plato, or rather Theodore, under his name, wrote to
the monk Simeon, kinsman of the emperor, who was a friend,
. and sorely distressed at the declaration of Joseph of Thessalonica. In this letter Theodore and Plato declared that the
schism rose about the illicit marriage of Constantine, and
that he who had performed the ceremony was deposed by
Jesus Christ, speaking through two canons of the Church.
The first forbids a priest from assisting at the festivities of a
second marriage.2 The second orders that, after the lapse of
a year, a deposed priest may not appeal for his restoration.3
