Saint Sixte III
Pape (44 ème) de 432 à
440 (+ 440)
Il fut un ardent
défenseur du concile d'Ephèse qui avait reconnu à la Vierge Marie le titre de
"Mère de Dieu". Il fit rebâtir la basilique de Sainte-Marie Majeure à
Rome, l'embellissant de mosaïques remarquables. Il accomplit également une œuvre
d'apaisement entre l'Église de Rome et les Églises d'Orient. Nous connaissons
sa correspondance avec saint
Augustin qui l'invite à une grande vigilance contre les pélagiens.

Saint Sixte III
Né à Rome vers l’an 390,
il semble qu’il fut un temps dans sa jeunesse tenté par les thèses de Pélage,
mais il abandonna rapidement ses errements dogmatiques, après des échanges
épistolaires avec saint Augustin. Il entra dans le clergé et fut nommé
cardinal par le pape saint Zozime. Proche conseiller des papes suivants, saint
Boniface Ier et saint Célestin Ier, aimé du peuple romain, il fut
lui-même élu pape le 31 juillet 432, devenant ainsi le 44e chef de l’Eglise.
Il lutta contre les
hérésies, notamment contre le pélagianisme et le nestorianisme, cette dernière
étant condamnée par le concile d’Ephèse en 431, dont il approuva les actes.
Depuis lors, l’Eglise donne à la Vierge Marie le titre de Theotokos (« qui
a enfanté Dieu » en grec). Il parvint à réconcilier les patriarches
orientaux saint Cyrille d’Alexandrie et Jean Ier
d’Antioche, en faisant admettre à ce dernier la véracité des décisions
d’Ephèse.
Soucieux de l’autorité
romaine et bon diplomate, Sixte III parvint à apaiser les relations entre
l’Occident et l’Orient, auquel il fit admettre la primauté du siège romain. Il
intervint aussi dans la nomination de plusieurs évêques, aussi bien en Occident
qu’en Orient. Bâtisseur, il fit notamment restaurer Sainte-Marie-Majeure. Il
mourut à Rome le 19 août 440.

This
illustration is from The Lives and Times of the Popes by Chevalier
Artaud de Montor,(1772-1849) New York: The Catholic Publication Society of
America, 1911. It was originally published in 1842.
Pope St. Sixtus III
(XYSTUS).
Consecrated 31 July, 432;
d. 440. Previous to his accession he was prominent among the Roman clergy and
in correspondence with St.
Augustine. He reigned during the Nestorian and Pelagian controversies,
and it was probably owing to his conciliatory disposition that he
was falsely accused of leanings towards these heresies.
As pope he
approved the Acts of the Council of Ephesus and endeavoured
to restore peace between Cyril
of Alexandria and John
of Antioch. In the Pelagian controversy
he frustrated the attempt of Julian
of Eclanum to be readmitted to communion with the Catholic Church.
He defended the pope's right of
supremacy over Illyricum against the local bishops and
the ambitious designs of Proclus of Constantinople.
At Rome he
restored the Basilica of Liberius, now known as St.
Mary Major, enlarged the Basilica of St.
Lawrence-Without-the-Walls, and obtained precious gifts from
the Emperor
Valentinian III for St. Peter's and the Lateran
Basilica. The work which asserts that the consul Bassus accused him of
crime is a forgery.
He is the author of eight letters (in P.L., L, 583 sqq.), but he did not write
the works "On Riches", "On False Teachers", and "On Chastity"
("De divitiis", "De malis doctoribus", "De
castitate") attributed to him. His feast is
kept on 28 March.

St. Sixtus III., Pope
HE was a priest among the
Roman clergy in 418, when Pope Zozimus condemned the Pelagian heretics. Sixtus
was the first, after this sentence, who pronounced publicly anathema against
them, to stop their slander in Africa that he favoured their doctrine, as we
are assured by St. Austin and St. Prosper in his chronicle. The former sent him
two congratulatory letters the same year, in which he applauds this testimony
of his zeal, and in the first of these letters professes a high esteem of a
treatise written by him in defence of the grace of God against its enemies. It
was that calumny of the Pelagian heretics that led Garnier into the mistake,
that our saint at first favoured their errors. But a change of this kind would
not have been buried in silence. After the death of St. Celestine, Sixtus was
chosen pope, in 432. He wrote to Nestorius to endeavour to reclaim him after
his condemnation at Ephesus, in 431: but his heart was hardened, and he stopped
his ears against all wholesome admonitions. The pope had the comfort to see a
happy reconciliation made, by his endeavours, between the Orientals and St.
Cyril: in which he much commended the humility and pacific dispositions of the
latter. He says, “that he was charged with the care and solicitude of all the churches
in the world, 1 and
that it is unlawful for any one to abandon the faith of the Apostolic Roman
Church, in which St. Peter teaches in his successors what he received from
Christ.” 2 When
Bassus, a nobleman of Rome, had been condemned by the emperor, and
excommunicated by a synod of bishops for raising a grievous slander against the
good pope, the meek servant of Christ visited and assisted him in person,
administered him the viaticum in his last sickness, and buried him with his own
hands. Julian of Eclanum or Eeulanum, the famous Pelagian, earnestly desiring
to recover his see, made great efforts to be admitted to the communion of the
Church, pretending that he had become a convert, and used several artifices to
convince our saint that he really was so: but he was too well acquainted with
them to be imposed on. This holy pope died soon after, on the 28th of March, in
440, having sat in the see near eight years. See his letters, Anastasius’s
Pontifical, with the notes of Bianchini, &c.

SIXTUS III, POPE, ST.
Pontificate: July 31, 432
to Aug. 19, 440. This pope was a Roman, the son of Xystus, and a priest at the
time of his election. He was well known to (St.) augustine and seems to have
sympathized with pelagius until the issuance of the Tractoria of Pope
zosimus. Sixtus then abandoned Pelagius and was reminded of the limits of
prudence and charity by Augustine.
Sixtus encouraged the
negotiations, following the Council of ephesus (431), between cyril of alexan
dria and john of antioch, who finally reached agreement regarding the two
natures in Christ; the pope wrote to congratulate them (433). During his
pontificate, friendly relations between Rome, Constantinople, and Alexandria
had all but liquidated the Nestorian problem, until proclus succeeded Maximian
as bishop of Constantinople and attempted to impose the decisions of a
Constantinopolitan council on the bishops of Illyricum. Sixtus wrote to Bp.
Anastasius of Thessalonica confirming his office as papal vicar and warning the
Illyrian bishops against the jurisdictional encroachments of Proclus. At the
same time, he requested Proclus not to tolerate appeals to Constantinople from
the Illyrian bishops. On the other hand, when Iddua, the bishop of Smyrna,
appealed to Rome against a sentence rendered by Proclus as metropolitan
of Asia
Minor, the pope refused to interfere, thus indicating his determination to
uphold the system of vicariates. The matter remained a thorny one in
Roman-Constantinopolitan relations.
Probably relying on the
memory of old sympathies, the exiled Pelagian, julian of eclanum, attempted to
persuade Sixtus to allow him to return to his see in Italy (439), but the pope
was warned against such a gesture by the deacon (later pope) Leo.
The name of Sixtus III is
linked with several of Rome's outstanding churches and monuments, and modern
scholars speak of a Sixtine Renaissance. He rebuilt the Lateran baptistery,
giving it the form that it has retained ever since: the inscription on the
marble beams around the font extols grace and the theology of baptism to mark
the Church's triumph over the heresy of Pelagius. His most important
undertaking was a complete reconstruction of the Liberian Basilica of Saint
Mary Major on the Esquiline Hill and its dedication to the Virgin
Mary (the first, and for many years the only, church to be so
dedicated in Rome). Its majestic mosaics commemorated the triumph of the Church
over the heresy of Nestorius.
A second basilica was
joined to the Constantinian church of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls. The Roman
Emperor valentinian iii was persuaded to contribute costly silver and gold
ornaments to the basilicas of St. Peter, St.
Paul, and the Lateran to replace what had been carried off by the
Visigoths.
The first monastery in
Rome was established at St. Sebastian's to ensure the daily recitation of
the Divine
Office, and in the papal crypt at St. Callistus the pope erected an
important inscription or plaque on which were listed the names of the bishops
and martyrs buried there. Sixtus himself was buried in St. Lawrence, although
the exact location of his tomb is unknown. Ado of Sens was the first to include
him in his ninth-century version of the Roman martyrology under the date of
March 28.
Feast: March 28.

San Sisto III Papa
Festa: 19 agosto
† 440
Etimologia: Sisto =
variante di Sesto
Martirologio
Romano: A Roma sulla via Tiburtina presso San Lorenzo, deposizione di san
Sisto III, papa, che ricompose i dissensi tra il patriarcato di Antiochia e
quello di Alessandria e nella città di Roma consegnò al popolo di Dio la
basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore sul colle Esquilino.
Presule di matrice romana, fu eletto al soglio pontificio il 31 luglio del 432.
Il suo papato fu ricordato per due questioni, fondamentali per l'epoca cristiana e per il tramonto dell'Impero Romano d' occidente.
La prima, per essere riuscito ad imporre le conclusioni del Concilio di Efeso con la ricomposizione, in seno a Santa Romana Chiesa dei dissapori e delle filosofie teologali (mai per altro dichiarate blasfeme od eretiche) sorte e condotte in medio oriente dalla chiesa cristiana orientale facente capo, in particolar modo al patriarca Giovanni di Antiochia, il quale aveva palesemente appoggiato le eresie "nestoriane" e quindi "pelagiane".
In pratica Sisto III riuscì a reimporre il dogma della Santa Trinità e di conseguenza attraverso il "verbo" (ovvero lo "Spirito Santo") la maternità di Maria, quale Madre di Dio. Figura femminile fortemente osteggiata dalle dottrine cristiane radicate nell'oriente, proprio perchè nella ricomposizione della famiglia celeste entrò per la prima volta una figura diversamente sessuata, ovvero una donna, ovvero lo Spirito Santo mai nominato come tale ma piuttosto, rappresentato sotto forma di una lingua di fuoco o di una colomba .
(nda: dal punto di vista laico nulla osta a qualsiasi credo teologico. Vi è da pensare però che il cristianesimo sia sorto sulle sponde di altre filosofie religiose per ricostruire una figura patriarcale ed una famiglia ebraica che si stava scomponendo, in conseguenza al decadimento della società teocratica ebraica; all'occupazione militare romana con la conseguente dissolutezza di costumi ed alla preoccupazione di riportare la famiglia sui "binari" di casa).
La seconda questione che contraddistinse questo papato fu l' abbondanza di ricchezze distribuite per la costruzione di nuove chiese romane ed in particolar modo per la ricostruzione della chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore sull'Esquilino (distrutta dalla sommossa per l'elezione di papa Damaso) alla quale furono "dedicati" per quello che fu tramandato:
- Un calice d'oro del peso di 50 libbre
- Lamine d'argento per il rivestimento dell'altare per 300 libbre
- Una fonte battesimale sormontata da un cervo d'argento dal peso di 30 libbre, dalla cui bocca sgorgava acqua di fonte
- Un tabernacolo d' argento da 511 libbre, dono speciale dell' imperatore Valentiniano III.
Segno che il clero romano aveva ormai di gran lunga superato in ricchezza la
finanza pubblica.
Sisto III fu proclamato santo per quelle qualità. Morì il 19 agosto del 440 e
fu sepolto a San Lorenzo fuori le mura.

Bischof von Rom
* in Rom
† 19. August 440 daselbst
Sixtus war Priester
in Rom.
Zunächst galt er als Anhänger des Pelagianismus,
nach dessen Verurteilung durch Papst Zosimus im
Jahr 418 war er ein starker Gegner. 432 bestieg er den Stuhl des Bischofs von
Rom. Ihm gelang in den Auseinandersetzungen um den Nestorianismus eine
Einigung mit der Ostkirche: er unterstützte die Friedensbemühungen von Kaiser
Theodosius II., die 433 zur Einigung und zur Versöhnung der Patriarchen
Johannes von Antiochia - dem heutigen Antakya /
Hatay - und Cyrill
von Alexandria führten. In Illyrien verteidigte er die Rechte des
apostolischen Vikars von Thessaloniki gegen
die Ansprüche des Patriarchen Proklus von Konstantinopel - dem heutigen Ístanbul.
In Rom entfaltete Sixtus
eine rege Bautätigkeit, um die 410 durch die Westgoten verursachten Schäden zu
beheben: er ließ am Lateran die unter Kaiser Konstantin errichtete
Taufkapelle San
Giovanni in Fonte neu bauen - nun achteckig statt kreisrund - und
weihte die Basilika Santa
Maria Maggiore in Erinnerung an die wichtigen Lehren des Konzils
von Ephesus 1.
An die kleine Kirche, die über den Katakomben der Cyriaca als Kirche San
Lorenzo fuori le Mura errichtet worden war, ließ Sixtus eine
größere, Maria geweihte
Kirche anbauen - heute das Schiff der aus den beiden Kirchen
zusammengebauten Basilika San
Lorenzo fuori le Mura. Unsicher ist der Bau der Kirche San
Pietro in Vincoli durch ihn zur Aufbewahrung der Ketten
des Petrus. Kaiser Valentinian III. kam mit kostbaren Geschenken nach Rom,
um Sixtus zu unterstützen. Schon in seiner Regierungszeit hatte sein Diakon,
sein späterer Nachfolger Leo I.,
großen Einfluss.
Sixtus wurde in seiner
Kirche - der heutigen Kirche San
Lorenzo fuori le Mura - in Rom bestattet. Mehrere ihm zugeschriebene
Werke sind nicht echt, ebenso die Dokumente, nach denen sich Sixtus unter Eid
von der Anklage der Unzucht befreien musste.
1 Theodor
Klausner bestritt 1972 Sixtus' Bauherrschaft; demnach ließ dieser nur zwei
Inschriften an der schon gebauten Kirche anbringen.
