Pope Hormisdas (/hɔːrˈmɪzdəs/;[2] c. 450[2] – 6 August 523) was the bishop of Rome from 20 July 514 to his death.[3] His papacy was dominated by the Acacian schism, started in 484 by Acacius of Constantinople's efforts to placate the Monophysites. His efforts to resolve this schism were successful, and on 28 March 519, the reunion between Constantinople and Rome was ratified in the cathedral of Constantinople before a large crowd.[3]
