We find no further mention of Cyril in the proceedings of the Council itself.  As consisting of Eastern Bishops only, its authority was not at first acknowledged, nor its acts approved in the Western Church.  The two Synods held later in the same year at Aquileia and at Milan, sent formal protests to Theodosius, and urged him to summon a General Council at Alexandria or at Rome.  But instead of complying with this request, the Emperor summoned the Bishops of his Empire to a fresh Synod at Constantinople, and there in the summer of 382 very nearly the same Bishops were assembled who had been present at the Council of the preceding year.  Their Synodical letter addressed to the Bishops assembled at Rome is preserved by Theodoret H. E. v. 9. and in it we read as follows:  “Of the Church in Jerusalem, the Mother of all the Churches, we make known that Cyril the most reverend and most beloved of God is Bishop; and that he was canonically ordained long ago by the Bishops of the province, and that he has very often fought a good fight in various places against the Arians.”  Thus justice was done at last to one whose prudence, moderation, and love of peace, had exposed him in those days of bitter controversy to undeserved suspicion and relentless persecution.  His justification by the Council is the last recorded incident in Cyril’s life.  We are told by Jerome that he held undisturbed possession of his See for eight years under Theodosius.  The eighth year of Theodosius was a.d. 386, and in the Roman Martyrology, the 18th of March in that year is marked as “The birthday (‘Natalis,’ i.e. of his heavenly life) of Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem, who after suffering many wrongs from the Arians for the sake of the Faith, and having been several times driven from his See, became at length renowned for the glory of sanctity, and rested in peace:  an Ecumenical Council in a letter to Damasus gave a noble testimony to his untarnished faith.”
