(Sometimes, of COLOSSUS) Theologian, d. 1440. He was Greek by birth,
and born of schismatic parents. In early youth he had no opportunities for education,
but afterwards devoted himself to Latin and Greek, and to theology, especially
the questions in dispute between the Latin and Greek Churches.
The study of the early Fathers, both Greek and Latin, convinced him
that in the disputed points, truth was on the side of the Latin Church. He therefore
solemnly abjured his error, made a profession of faith, and entered the Dominican
Order about the time of the Western Schism. He led thenceforth an apostolic life.
He was especially earnest in his efforts to induce his fellow-Greeks to follow
in his footsteps and reunite with Rome.
In 1413 he was made Archbishop of Rhodes.
The Dominican biographer, Echard, credits him with having taken an
active part in the twentieth session of the Council of Constance
(1414-18). Others maintain that there is here a confusion with Andrew of Colaczy,
in Hungary. At the Council
of Basle, he delivered an oration in the name of the Pope. He took part in the
Council of Ferrara-Florence,
and was one of the six theologians appointed by the Papal Legate, Cardinal Julian,
to reply to the objections of the Greeks. He proved that it was fully within the
province of the Church to add the Filioque to the Creed, and that the Greek Fathers
had been of the same opinion.
After the close of the Council, trouble arose between the Latins and
Greeks in Cyprus; the latter
accused the former of refusing to hold communion with them. Andrew was sent thither
by Eugene IV, and succeeded in establishing peace. He also succeeded in overcoming
the local forms of the Nestorian, Eutychian, and Monothelite heresies. The heretical
bishops abjured and made a profession of faith at a synod held at Nicosia;
some of the prelates went afterwards to Rome
to renew their profession before the Holy See.
There are preserved in the Vatican manuscript copies of his treatise
on the Divine essence and operation, compliled from the commentaries of St. Tomas
Aquinas, and addressed to Cardinal Bessarion also a little work in the form of
a dialogue in reply to a letter of Mark of Ephesus against the rites and ceremonies
of the Roman Church.
