Graver or major cases, and appeals in Illyricum, reserved to the apostolic see, 619, 622. Cases of the bishops of Illyricum which cannot be settled in their own provinces are to be referred to the bishop of Thessalonica, the apostolic vicar, so that he may compose the dispute, 678. In more difficult cases judgement is to be suspended and the pontiff's sentence awaited, 683. If these cases cannot be settled by the bishop of Thessalonica, they are to be referred to the Roman pontiff, 689. The same is to be done if opinions are divided in a council of bishops, 690.

Assembled by order of the Christian princes and with the consent of the apostolic see, 1197. Likewise through the Holy Spirit, 1031. For the business of the faith alone, 1163, 1217. Pope Leo himself presided over it in his legates, as the head over the members, 1090. 1100, 1140, 1141. Not only the Emperor Marcian but also the Empress Pulcheria was present at its sixth session, 1127 not. [= note]. It was convened so that all the bishops might declare what Leo had defined, 1025 not. [= note]. Leo did not wish what had been defined to be disputed as a doubtful matter, 1064, 1071.

It was necessary that the understanding of all the Fathers should agree with the faith of Leo, 1126 not. [= note].

This confirmation or assent of the pontiff was requested as entirely free by the Fathers, 1197, 1099 By the emperor, 1113, 1120. By Anatolius, 1126 not. [= note], 1134. Lest the very definition of the council be doubtful to some, an express papal confirmation is requested as necessary, 1182. Leo approves this definition in a special letter, with everything that pertains to the faith, 1195 The authority of the apostolic see confirmed it, 1343. This papal confirmation to be published in all the Churches, 1182, 1201. The Chalcedonian canon issued in favour of the see of CP. [= Constantinople] is rejected by Leo, 1151, 1155, 1163, 1172, etc. If anything was transacted besides the cause of the faith, even with the assent of Leo's legates, it is undone, since they had been directed by the holy pontiff to the cause of the faith alone, and it had not obtained his assent, 1217. Nothing of the definitions of this council in the cause of the faith is to be reopened, 1301, 1304, 1306, 1310, 1222, 1338, 2340.

Charity the highest of the virtues, 183. It has no limit ibid. [= in the same place]. By charity man is distinguished from the beasts, 62, 63. Nothing is more effective against the devil, 296. Charity the mother of all the virtues, 142. It extends even to unbelievers and enemies, 73, 129, 142, 155. It makes all things common, 181. Without charity the other virtues profit nothing for salvation, 182, 296, 317. The bond of charity and faith, such that where they are together, together they fail, 171. How far, or in what sense, St Leo wrote this is explained, 482. Faith can exist without charity, 31. All the precepts are reduced to faith and charity, 172. Without charity no one is a son of God, 188. Those who find in their consciences something of the fruits of charity stored up should not doubt that God is in them, 183. Charity towards God and neighbour is the virtue and wisdom of the Christian faith, 170. It is the first rule of conduct, 60. Charity gives life to faith and the other virtues, and makes them useful, 36. Works are weighed in the scale of charity, 32. There is no greater reward for charity than charity itself, 359. All affections are to be directed by the charity of God and neighbour, and by what rule, 60. The pattern of loving one's neighbour is to be taken from the love with which God loves us, 63. God is to be loved with the whole heart, etc., 40, 89. When the neighbour is loved, God is loved, 365. In the love of God nothing is too much; in the love of the world all things are harmful, 352. To love God is nothing other than to love justice, 370. Vid. [= see] Love of God.

The Church founded on the faith of Peter, 12, 239, 461. It stands in the solidity of Peter, 634. He violates this solidity who tries to break down Peter's power, ibid. [the same place].

Whatever is spent in alms is not lessened but increased, 183, 315. It is a holy usury, 53. It helps prayer, 48, 52. It is to be joined with fasting, 343. Let the alms of those who cannot fast be the more abundant, ibid. Its omission is a ground of damnation, 55, 57. To whom it is chiefly to be given, 33. It is to be given even to unbelievers, 155. The faithful are to be preferred, ibid., 350. To the bashful it is to be given so that both their poverty and their shame are considered, 33. It is to be given to the needy before they ask, 411.

It is too little not to take what is another's unless you also bestow what is your own, 341. He who does not provide for others' needs differs in nothing from the beasts, 62.

It is explained, 493.

The Catholic faith, whence it comes, 1061. The fount and channel of faith, 1075. Its commendation and unity, 82, 839. The Catholic faith, which is true and one, suffers itself to be violated by no diversity, 1338. It belongs to bishops to watch that the faith is not violated, 1253. The true faith is most fruitfully defended when a false opinion is condemned even by its own followers, 835. It can be violated by the briefest addition or change of letters, 1254. Nothing can be added to the faith, nothing taken away, 1237. Faith is not liable to contrary reasoning, 1138. It requires humility, 1235. Things once defined are not to be called into doubt, 1075. Nor reopened, 1064, 1301, 1303, 1304, 1310, 1322, 1338, 1340, 1345. The din of contests and disputations is to be avoided, and how far the faith is to be defended, 765, 1075, 1337, 1345. Nothing is more glorious than to fight for the faith, 888.

The constancy of faith made more wonderful by the difficulty of believing, 274. The faith of the Old and the New Testament is the same, 204, 244. The ancients lived and were pleasing in the faith of Christ, 199, 204, 244, 256, 268. Only by the light of faith can the mystery of Christ, God and man, be reached, 140. Faith increased by the Lord's ascension and strengthened by the gift of the Holy Spirit, 294. The wonderful effects of this faith, ibid. [the same place]. One must speak cautiously about the faith, 1225. Many come to the faith in Leo's time, 83. The purity of faith shines out when the filth of errors is separated from it, 935.

Flavian, bishop of Constantinople, condemns Eutyches in synod and sends the acts to Leo, 756, 786. He is accused by Eutyches of having refused to receive a petition of appeal offered by him, 740, 742. He writes back that Eutyches lied in this, 686.

The vain glory of the world is not to be sought, 138, 359, 364. To be taken up into glory is more to be feared than to be trampled in humiliation, 455.

How few among the Latins knew the Greek language well and could render an exact version from the Greek; and likewise how rare among the Greeks were those who held the Latin language perfectly and could produce an accurate translation from the Latin, 557. Hence Leo has doubts about the less exact Greek version of his letter to Flavian, 1236. He wishes it to be rendered into Greek by someone skilled in both languages, 1258, 1260. The difficulty of rendering fitly into Greek works that treat of subtle matters, 1237. The difficulty of rendering into Latin, 1274. Many letters of Leo rendered into Greek, and when, and the authority of these translations, 558, 559.

The praise of divine grace, 39. Its necessity, 55, 141, 187, 1207. Prepared mercifully not according to the merits of men but according to the multitude of the riches of God's wisdom, 961. The contrary error of the Pelagians is condemned, 591. Grace that rouses, 181, the help of grace, 211. The grace of Christ not only rouses the mind but also helps the action, 983. God justly presses with His command Who goes before with His help, 265. It belongs to grace to begin and to perfect, to man to cooperate willingly, 181. We are cooperators with the grace of God working in us, 130. He Who gave the willing will give the power too, that we may be cooperators in His works, 90. God suffices to give strength for victory, 1337. Man doing good has from God both the effect of the work and the beginning of the will, 141. Grace works all things in all, 346. Every gift of good works is a divine preparation, 592. God, Who granted the willing, gives the power too 187. How man cooperates with grace so as to be renewed inwardly, 163. The conversion of the thief, a work of grace, 202. No one is justified by virtue before he is justified by grace, which for each man is the beginning of justice and the fount of good things and the origin of merits, 592. What grace chiefly works in the heart, 47, 48. In what it appears more wonderful, 9. The work of grace in the Magi, 112, 123. Man redeemed and reborn would be corrupted by carnal desire if he were not fortified by spiritual help: for as he never lacks the means of falling, so the means of standing is always at hand, 55.

The grace given to the ancient Fathers is the same as that which is given to us, 76. Provision was always made for the human race through grace by the divine goodness, 78. But especially after the incarnation, ibid. [the same place]. What divine grace conferred on us in the incarnation, 97. There is none of the believers to whom the gifts of grace are to be denied, 245. Without God's help we cannot be strong, 353 not. [note]. Things impossible from our own weakness become possible by the power of grace, 352. God's grace holds out help, and obedience softens the command, 130. Let obedience not be withdrawn from grace, 163. God's help is to be implored, so that through Him, without Whom we can do nothing, we may be able to fulfil all things, 187. If a man finds anything impossible or hard in the commandments, let him run back to Him Who commands, Who gives the commandment for this reason, to rouse desire and to grant help, 163. The commandment is given so that the help of Him Who commands may be sought, 187. Special gifts of grace, 259.

Grace, in granting victory, does not take away the matter for fighting, 314. This is for the saints a cause of fear, lest, lifted up by their very works of piety, they be deserted by the aid of grace and remain in the weakness of nature, 141. Through Christ we can do all things, we who without Him can do nothing, 1418. His helps are as powerful as His promises are true, 1419.

Thanksgiving owed to God, 7, 20, 41, 48, 52, 62, 66, 72, 115, 121, 247, 986, 1042, 1076, 1109, 1139, 1154, 1172, 1206, 1246, 1256. Leo thanks the Romans for their favour in his election to the pontificate, 7.

To be restrained by the Emperors, 1306, 1320. The arms of faith are to be taken up against them, 33, 51. Their leaders above all are to be driven into exile, 161. They have no right to dwell or to pray in churches, 1320. Prayer is to be made for heretics, 127. Their names are not to be recited at the altar, 1040, 1051. Conversations with them are to be avoided, 271, 373, 374. Nor is there to be communion with them even in civil matters, 50. They anathematize one another, 1213.

With what caution heretics who have been corrected are to be received into communion, 589, 594, 665, 709, 731, 835, 851, 861. 867, 870, 1037, 1040, 1078. Those fallen into heresy through fear, converted and received, 1039. They are to be left in the same order in which they return, 575, 577, 531. Provided they have not been rebaptized, 730 not.

The ecclesiastical hierarchy. Three grades of it listed, Levites, elders, and priests, 228. The high prelates, priests of the second order, ministers of the sacraments, 181. Four grades, the episcopal, the presbyteral, the Levitical or that of deacons, and that of subdeacons, 687, 688. Four hierarchical grades among bishops, the episcopal, the metropolitan, the exarchal, and the pontifical, 692. In what sense the dignity of these grades, but not the order, is common, 691 not.

The vigour of Januarius, Bishop of Aquileia, praised by Leo, 729. Leo's first letter to the Bishop of Aquileia was not addressed to Januarius, 581.

Fasting befits both Testaments, 351. The precept of fasting is not abrogated by the grace of the new law, but confirmed, as is also the precept of love, 46, 52. The fasting of Christians, if it is shared with the Jews in its seasons, does not agree with it in its ways, and why, 348.

The fasts of the Church were instituted by the authority of the Holy Spirit, 313. Ordered by apostolic enactments, 62. From apostolic tradition, 168, 319.

So perverse was his conversion that he sinned even in repenting, 214. An unconvertible man, 205. He passed into despair before Christ fulfilled the sacrament of the general redemption, 240. He could have obtained a remedy, if he had not hastened to the noose, ibid. He would have moved the mercy of Christ, if he had not denied His omnipotence, 201. Fittingly was Judas's punishment committed to himself, because no one crueller than he could be found for his punishment, 262. Even in dying he sinned, 240. His crime had exceeded every measure of vengeance, 265.

The day of judgement, although it is hidden, is not doubted to be near, 58. Why delayed, 130. This delay deceives sinners, ibid. [the same place]. A multitude of angels will be present at it, and why, 205. Meditation on the judgement is useful, 30, 31. Each holds his own sentence in his hand, 191.

Juvenal, Bishop of Jerusalem, tried to subject Palestine to himself at the Synod of Ephesus, 1215. St Cyril opposed him, and wrote to Leo, then archdeacon of the Roman Church, 1216. At the pseudo-synod of Ephesus he all too rashly joined himself to the blasphemies of the heretics, and embraced Eutyches and Dioscorus, 1180, 1192, 1285. He harassed innocent and catholic men, 1040. He showed his inexperience, 1051. His name is not to be recited at the altar, 1040. 1051. Afterwards by wiser counsel he corrected himself, 1180, 1287.
