event: Meletius was ordained by Arians but later demonstrated his orthodoxy. See factoid page
event: To defend his belief in the ordination of priests by those outside of a particular diocese, Severus appeals to the examples of Basil during the controversy surrounding Arius, and Gregory the Theologian. See factoid page
event: Severus responded to John by refusing to accept the synod of Chalcedon as a repudiation of Nestorius and Eutyches, because the Chalcedonian creed and the Tome of Leo support Nestorianism; Severus does not believe that anathematizing Eutyches makes the Council of Chalcedon legitimate, because the followers of Arius were still heretics even though they repudiated the teachings of Sabellius. See factoid page
event: Severus argued that by ordaining priests in a diocese that was not his own, Epiphanius was not violating the sacred canons, which only outlaws such behavior in the cases of bishops forcing themselves on other dioceses, citing the examples of Eusebius of Samosata during the controversy of Arius, Theodoret, Basil, and Gregory the Theologian.
