VITALIAN, Pope, Saint. - There is scant information about the activity of Pope V. (30 July 657-27 June 672).

It is only known that he maintained good relations with the court of Constantinople, that Constans II confirmed his election without difficulty and had his name inserted in the diptychs. On 5 July 663 V. gave a magnificent welcome to the sovereign. But the Lib. Pontif. bitterly points out the robberies of which some churches of Rome were victims. It should also be noted that Constans II seriously infringed upon the privileges of the Holy See, removing the see of Ravenna from its jurisdiction (19 March 666). He is inscribed in the Roman Martyrology; feast day 27 January.
