Paulinus I of Aquileia

I. Paulinus of Aquileia († 569 ) was 557-569 archbishop and later Patriarch of Aquileia.

Three Chapters controversy

When Pope Pelagius I. in the wake of the Three Chapters controversy recognized by the Second Council of Constantinople Opel and the two natures damn, Paulinus turned ' predecessor Macedonius with all the bishops of his ecclesiastical province of the Holy See from. They held on to their faith the two natures of Christ - divine and human - fixed, as they were formulated in the three chapters. For the final cleavage from the Pope it came under Paulinus, who own council at Aquileia convened by 558, in which he recognized the two natures. From this point on Paulinus himself described as Patriarch, a title that was only reserved for the Pope.

The Three Chapters controversy lasted 532-699 and was settled on a church meeting. The debate laid the foundation for the special position of the Patriarch of Aquileia within the Catholic Church and was the basis for their subsequent temporal power.

Escape to Grado

When the Lombards invaded the Friuli, Paulinus fled with 568 of his church, the relics of Saint Hermagoras and the church treasury to the Grado peninsula. Unlike his predecessors, who had been looking for only a short refuge in Grado, remained Paulinus and his successors on the peninsula. Its cathedral chapter, however, still resided on the mainland in Aquileia.

The spatial separation and reconciliation of the resident in Grado Patriarch with the Pope 699 was the starting point for the division of patriarchy: There was a company based in Grado patriarchy ( Aquileia Nova ) and the remaining in Aquileia Patriarchate.
