Summary/Abstract: This study analyzes selected theological aspects of the perception of the role and position of Roman bishop in the works of early Christian Pope St. Leo the Great. We hereby continue in the exploration of post-Augustinian heritage with special attention to the homiletic work of the Church fathers. We intend to analyze the sermons of Leo in chronological order, considering his arguments to be the capstone of early Christian (ancient Christian) ecclesiology.
