To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old complaints of Bome against Photius do not appear to have played any decisive part in the matter. But by the elevation of Stephen a special difficulty was created as regards Home, seeing that Stephen had been consecrated by Photius himself, and was therefore not acknowledged by the opponents of Photius to be legally consecrated. * From Photius himself Leo had obtained an actual written abdication.* For him, therefore, up to that point, Photius was the legal patriarch, whose ecclesiastica...l acts were not to be disputed ; but for his opponents, and so for Eome, he had never been legal patriarch, hence the consecrations performed by him were invalid, and hence also the new patriarch Stephen was illegal. In the negotia- tions with Bome the Greeks demanded the remission of the ban against Pho- tius, while the Emperor appealed to Photius's voluntary resignation. The Roman bishop, Stephen VI., censured the self-contradiction of this attitude.* The Greeks sought to evade the question of the validity of the consecrations, on which the right of the new patriarch rested, and only begged for dispensa- tion for those clergy who were in ecclesiastical communion with Photius.
