Pope Benedict II (Latin:Benedictus II) was thebishop of Rome from 26 June 684 to his death on 8 May 685. Pope Benedict II's feast day is 7 May.

Early life

[edit]

Benedict was born inRome.[2] It is possible that he was a member of the Savelli family, though this is not certain. Sent when young to theschola cantorum, he distinguished himself by his knowledge of the Scriptures and by his singing.[1]

Papacy

[edit]

The bishops of Rome were ancientlychosen by the clergy and people of Rome, according to the discipline of those times; theRoman emperor was the head of the people, on which account his consent was required. But whilst the emperors resided inConstantinople, this condition produced often long delays and considerable inconveniences. Although chosen in 683, he was notordained until 684 awaiting the permission of EmperorConstantine IV. According to theLiber Diurnus Romanorum Pontificum, he obtained from the emperor a decree which either abolished imperial confirmations altogether or made them obtainable from theexarch of Ravenna. Benedict symbolically adopted Constantine's sons,Justinian II andHeraclius.[1]

To help to suppressMonothelitism, Benedict endeavoured to secure the subscriptions of the bishops ofHispania to the decrees of theThird Council of Constantinople of 680/1, and to bring about the submission to the decrees of Macarius, the deposed bishop of Antioch.[1] Restorations of numerous churches in Rome are ascribed to the less than a year's pontificate of Benedict II, includingOld St. Peter's Basilica andSan Lorenzo in Lucina.[3] After a pontificate of about eleven months, Pope Benedict II died on May 8, 685 and was buried in St. Peter's.[1]
