Patriarch of Constantinople
b. 5th century · d. 19 Jan 520
52nd Archbishop of Constantinople (Ecumenical Patriarch)
John of Cappadocia, surnamed Cappadox or the Cappadocian, was patriarch of Constantinople in 518–520, during the reign of Byzantine emperor Anastasius I Dicorus after an enforced condemnation of the Council of Chalcedon. His short patriarchate is memorable for the celebrated Acclamations of Constantinople, and the reunion of East and West after a schism of 34 years. At the death of Timothy I of Constantinople, John of Cappadocia, whom he had designated his successor, was presbyter and chancellor of the Church of Constantinople.
