'''Saint Hilary of Poitiers''', (b. 315, died 368) was one of the greatest theologians during a very troubled period of the Church. St. Hilary was a defender of the divinity of [[Christ]] and strongly opposed the heresy of Arianism. He became Bishop of Poitiers [[France]] and was known as a brilliant scholar with a humble gentleness. This valiant champion of Christ created the first hymns used by the Church in the West. Introduced Eastern theology to the Western Church. St. Hilary was proclaimed a [[Doctor of the Church]] in 1851 by [[Pope Pius IX]].
