MICHAEL OF ANCHIALUS. - Greek Patriarch of Constantinople (1170-78). He showed zeal regarding the discipline of the clergy and vigilance against Christological errors. While he made attempts at union with the Armenian katholikoi, Nerses IV and Gregory IV, he showed great intransigence in the negotiations conducted in the name of the Greek emperor Manuel I Comnenus with the Roman Church, effectively obstructed by him, as his still-preserved dialogue with the Emperor demonstrates, at the conference of 1171 (or 1176). M. rejects the three cornerstones of the projected union, namely the juridical primacy of the pope, the right of appeal to the pope, and the liturgical commemoration of the pope.
