Everything about Antipope Laurentius totally explained
Laurentius (possibly Caelius) was an
antipope of the
Roman Catholic Church, from
498 to
506.
Archpriest of Santa Prassede, Laurence was elected pope on
22 November 498, against
Symmachus, by a dissenting faction with
Byzantine sympathies. Laurence was, in fact, supported by
Emperor Anastasius. Laurence, supported by the
Gothic King
Theodoric the Great, installed in the
Lateran Palace as a Pope, starting a
schism, called the Laurentian schism, that lasted four years.
Symmachus tried to recompose the fraction, by offering to Laurence the
Diocese of Nocera de' Pagani, in
Campania, but Laurence's supporters, among whom was Senator Festus, sustained the schism. It was Theodoric, fearing a Byzantine influence on Laurence, who withdrew his support from Laurence, removing him from
Rome.
