Silverius Campanus post Agapitum proxime Pontifex creatus est: cujus doctrina et sanctitas
|
|
illuxit in insectandis hæreticis, et constantis animi magnitudo perspecta est in tuendo
|
|
judicio Agapiti. Nam Anthimum, quem, quia Eutychianam hæresim defendebat, Agapitus ab
|
|
episcopatu Constantinopolitano deposuerat, cum a Theodora Augusta sæpissime rogatus esset,
|
|
restituere noluit. Quam ob rem irata mulier mandat Belisario ut Silverium mittat in
|
|
exsilium. Qui exsulavit in insula Pontia, unde his verbis scripsisse fertur ad Amatorem
|
|
episcopum: Sustentor pane tribulationis et aqua angustiæ; nec tamen dimisi, aut dimitto
|
|
officium meum. Et sane, brevi incommodis ærumnisque confectus, obdormivit in Domino,
|
|
duodecimo Kalendas Julii; Cujus corpus Romam delatum, et in basilica Vaticana depositum,
|
|
multis miraculis illustratum fuit. Præfuit Ecclesiæ annos tres et amplius, creatis mense
|
|
Decembri presbyteris tredecim, diaconis quinque, episcopis per diversa loca decem et novem.

This Silverius was a native of Campania, and succeeded Agapitus in the Papacy. His
|
|
orthodoxy and holiness shone brightest in his onslaughts upon heretics, and he showed
|
|
admirable firmness in upholding a sentence by Agapitus. Agapitus had deposed Anthimus from
|
|
the Patriarchate of Constantinople for defending the heresy of Eutyches; and Silverius would
|
|
never allow of his restoration, although the Empress Theodora repeatedly asked him to do so.
|
|
The woman was enraged at him on this account, and ordered Belisarius to send Silverius into
|
|
exile. He was accordingly banished to the island of Ponza, whence he is said to have written
|
|
these words to Bishop Amator: I am fed upon the bread of tribulation and the water of
|
|
affliction, but nevertheless I have not given up, and I will not give up, doing my duty. But
|
|
sickness and the hardships of his exile soon broke his strength, and he fell asleep in the
|
|
Lord upon the 20th day of June. Many miracles shed a lustre upon his grave. He ruled the
|
|
Church for more than three years, and ordained in the month of December thirteen Priests,
|
|
five Deacons, and nineteen Bishops for diverse Sees.
