St. Zachary
St. Zachary was born at San Severino, in Calabria, of a Greek family, and succeeded Pope Gregory III to the Chair of Peter on December 5, 741. He was a man of gentle and conciliatory character. He loved the people of Rome to such a degree that he risked his life for them during the rebellion of the Dukes of Spoleto and Benevento against King Liutprand.
Preserving the Church
The King, out of respect for the sanctity and dignity of the Pope, restored all the territory which belonged to the Church of Rome, and sent back all captives without ransom. Pope Zachary successfully negotiated peace between the Lombards and the Greek empire, approved the assumption of the Frankish crown by Pepin. St. Zachary convened the Synod of Cloveshove, which was held in 747 for the reform of church discipline in England in accordance with the advice given by the Pope in imitation of Roman Church.
Pope St. Zachary restored many of the churches of Rome. He also restored the Lateran Palace; established several large domains as the settled landed possessions of the Roman Church: translated to the Church of St. George in Velabro the head of the martyr St. George, which was found during the repairs to the Lateran Palace; carried on theological studies, and translated the Dialogues of St. Gregory the Great into Greek, which were largely distributed in the East. Pope Zachary proved himself to be an excellent, capable, zealous, charitable successor of St. Peter. He died March 752, and was buried in St. Peter’s Cathedral.
