Boniface Iii [1]

was elected bishop of Rome Feb. 16, 607. Through his influence the Emperor Phocas decreed that the title of " universal bishop" should be given only to the Pope of Rome. In a synod held at Rome, he forbade, under anathema, that a bishop should appoint his own successor. He died Nov. 12, 607.
