EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Pope Conon (686-687): A Brief yet Significant Papacy in the History of Catholicism" Pope Conon, born of an unknown lineage, assumed the papacy in the year 686, during a time of political instability and religious upheaval in the Roman Empire. His papacy, though short-lived, left an indelible mark on the history of Catholicism. In the image, Pope Conon is depicted in his papal regalia, seated on a throne, surrounded by a group of clergy and dignitaries. His calm and resolute expression conveys a sense of wisdom and authority. The Patriarchal Basilica of St. Peter, the seat of the papacy, can be seen in the background, a testament to the spiritual and temporal power of the papacy during this period. During his brief tenure, Pope Conon played a crucial role in the political maneuverings of the time. He was instrumental in securing the election of his successor, Sergius I, who would go on to strengthen the papacy's position in Rome and the wider Roman Empire. However, Conon's most significant contribution to Catholicism was his role in the Council of Constantinople II (680-681), which addressed various theological and disciplinary issues within the Church. The council affirmed the veneration of icons, a practice that had been under attack by certain factions, and reaffirmed the primacy of the pope in matters of faith and morals. Despite his accomplishments, Pope Conon's papacy was cut short by his untimely death in 687. He was buried in the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Peter, where he remains to this day, a reminder of the enduring legacy of the papacy and its role in the history of Catholicism. This evocative image of Pope Conon, seated in the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Peter, offers a glimpse into the political and religious landscape of the late seventh century, a time of great change and transformation in the history of the Catholic Church.
