Sergius I
Biography
Sergius I was Pope from 15 December 687 to 8 September 701. He refused to accept certain canons of the Quinisext Council of 692, convened by Emperor Justinian II and which brought together only Eastern bishops, whose aim was to reform canon law in order to put an end to the decadence of morals, but which clashed with Western doctrines and practices. Sergius I was a promoter of the cult of the Lamb of God and introduced into the Roman Church the celebration of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary and the feast of her Nativity.
