A council in the Blachernai palace deposed Soterichos Panteugenos

Summary:
Manuel I, with almost superhuman devotion to the spiritual health of Byzantium, finding that quarrelsome priests were spreading false doctrines, put aside his immense worldly concerns, gathered all the church leaders he could and convened a council. It met, under his presidency, in the Blachernai palace to consider the deposition for heresy of Soterichos Panteugenes, the elected patriarch of Theoupolis, great Antioch, who taught that Christ's sacrifice was offered to the Father alone. Beside the emperor, 15 major lay officials are recorded as having attended, while the patriarchs of Constantinople and Jerusalem were joined by 42 metropolitans, archbishops and bishops. Some are listed for only one one of the two days. The patriarch Konstantinos IV Chliarenos took a major role, but it was Loukas I Chrysoberges who signed the resulting document, endorsing all Konstantinos' acts and decisions, implying that the former died soon after the council. Some of the comments of the major participants are recorded, especially the emperor, who put pressure on Soterichos and Nikephoros Basilakes, who also seems to have been involved, though he claimed he no longer held the suspect opinions. Though no words favourable to Soterichos survive, there was a considerable group of clergy unwilling to proceed immediately to deposition, so the council entered a second day. Soterichos did not appear, so a named deputation with a carefully-witnessed letter was sent to him at the Hodegon monastery. He said that he was ill and could not attend, while acknowledging that the council could continue in his absence, especially as the emperor had to leave on campaign. Once this was decided, his unanimous condemnation by the clerical members of the council seems soon to have followed, together with deposition from the patriarchate and exclusion from holy orders. Kinnamos treated the affair merely as an intervention by Manuel I which (temporarily at least) rehabilitated Basileios the deacon against those like Soterichos who had previously attacked him
