Pope Theophilus

– He differed with four monks that are known as the Tall Brethren for preaching Origen’s teachings
– They fled to St. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, and because he received them, a conflict arose between the Pope and the Archbishop
– Empress Eudoxia seized this opportunity to exile St. John Chrysostom since there was enmity between them, however, she repented and regretted what she did
– The Pope found a treasure from the time of Alexander the Great that he gave to Emperor Theodosius II who in return rewarded him, which was spent on building ten churches, and turned many pagan temples to church and was called “The Builder of Churches”
