As patriarch of Alexandria, Cyril immediately went after the heretics of the [[Novatians]]. One of his first acts was to pillage and shut the churches of the Novatian sect.  He would be criticized for violence that took place. Next, he would turn his full attention to the [[Jews]] of Alexandria. The Jews had a flourishing community there ever since [[Alexander the Great]] but they had caused tumults and had massacred [[Christians]]. <ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04592b.htm St. Cyril of Alexandria] Catholic Encyclopedia</ref> Cyril led a mob which drove all Jews away from Alexandria in 415. Cyril took part in a synod and agreed with the premise for the deposing of [[St. John Chrysostom]], who also became a Doctor of the Church. Also, St. Cyril would oppose Roman emperor [[Julian the Apostate]].
