:''For the [[prefect]] under [[Justinian I]], see [[John the Cappadocian]].''
'''John''' or '''Joannes II''', surnamed '''Cappadox''' or '''Cappadocia''', less commonly known as '''John the Cappadocian''', [[Patriarch of Constantinople]], ([[517]] - [[520]]), was appointed by [[Roman Emperor Anastasius I|Anastasius]] after an enforced condemnation of the [[Council of Chalcedon]]. His short patriarchate is memorable for the celebrated Acclamations of Constantinople, and the reunion of East and West after a schism of 34 years. At the death of Timothy, John of Cappadocia, whom he had designated his successor, was presbyter and chancellor of the church of Constantinople.
On [[July 9]], [[518]], the long reign of Anastasius came to a close, the orthodox [[Justin I|Justin]] succeeding. On Sunday [[July 15]], the new emperor entered the cathedral, and the patriarch, accompanied by twelve prelates, was making his way through the throngs that crowded every corner. As he came near the raised dais where the pulpit stood shouts arose, "Long live the patriarch! Long live the emperor! Why do we remain excommunicated? Why have we not communicated these many years? You are Catholic, what do you fear; worthy servant of the Trinity? Cast out Severus the Manichee! O Justin, our emperor, you win! This instant proclaim the synod of Chalcedon, because Justin reigns." These and other cries continued. The procession passed into the inclosure, but the excited congregation went on shouting outside the gates of the choir in similar strains: "You shall not come out unless you anathematize Severus," referring to the heretical patriarch of Antioch. The patriarch John, having meanwhile gained time for thought and consultation, came out and mounted the pulpit, saying, "There is no need of disturbance or tumult; nothing has been done against the faith; we recognize for orthodox all the councils which have confirmed the decrees of Nicaea, and principally these three - [[First Council of Constantinople|Constantinople]], [[Council of Ephesus|Ephesus]], and the great council of Chalcedon."
