The Patriarchs of Alexandria, Jerusalem, and Antioch, were also hostile to such measures, not only from ancient jealousy of the pre- tensions of the see of Rome, but because the political schemes of their Saracen masters obliged them to oppose the wishes of the Greek Emperors. At last the Emperor Andkonicus III. Pal^. O- LOGUS gained over the Abbot Barlaam, who had hitherto been the leader of the Anti-Romish party. At the head of an Imperial Embassy, Barlaam went to Avignon, where at that time ...Pope Bene- dict XII. Resided (1339). But the negotiations led to no result, as the Pope insisted on absolute submission, both in respect of doctrine and government, and would not even consent to order a new inquiry, though it were only for the sake of appearances. Bar- laam joined the Latin Church (comp. § 99, 1), and died as bishop of Gieraece in 1348. — But as the difficulties of the Byzantine Emperors continually increased, Johannes V. Pal^OLOGUS made fresh advances. Lie joined the Latin Church in 1369, but neither did he prevail on his subjects to follow his example, nor the Pope on the Western rulers to send assistance against the Turks.
