Source heading; not independently verified

A certain Boniface, Archbishop of Mayence, having
been sent out, as an apostle, ambassador and
legate, by Pope Zacharias I., to convert the heathen
to the Roman see (as it was called), and to inoculate
to those who already belonged to it, the Roman
ceremonies and superstitions, and cause them to
observe the same, many bishops, overseers, or
teachers, in Germany, Bavaria, and France, opposed
it with spiritual weapons, namely, with reproofs
from the word of God, refusing to obey in
this respect, either the Pope or his Legate.

Among those who thus refused, there are mentioned
by name, Derthuin, Bertherius, Anobert,
and Hunored. These men were accused to the
Pope, and charged not only with said matter, but,
from envy, also with being avaricious, proud and
desirous of filthy lucre. Thereupon they were all
deposed from their ministry, by authority of the
Pope and his Legate; but how it ended with them,
is not stated, though it is to be presumed that some
kind of ecclesiastical exclusion, anathematization or
excommunication followed; however, since this is
passed by in silence, we can conclude nothing certain
concerning it.

221

In the meantime, there appears, on the one hand,
the boldness of said persons in reproving the Roman
superstitions, and, on the other hand, the shameless
arrogance of the Pope and his legate, in deposing
and removing those who, loving the good, could not
refrain, according to the doctrine of the word of God,
from reproving the evil. See A. Mell., fol. 328,
col. 2, compared with Aventin. Annal. Boj., lib. 3.
