BASILIO DI CORFÙ

Italian original Cite

BASIL OF CORFU. - A dissident bishop of Corfu who lived between the 12th and 13th centuries, d. around 1220. Thoroughly versed in theological and secular sciences, he is regarded by Greek dissidents as one of the most distinguished personalities of that age. He wrote a letter to Pope Innocent III upholding the dissident thesis on the procession of the Holy Spirit and asserting the prerogatives of the Byzantine patriarchate. He claimed that the Fourth Lateran Council was not ecumenical. Two discourses to the patriarchs, which remained unpublished, are worth noting.
