Hippolytus, bishop and martyr

Saint Hippolytus (3rd century), according to the Roman Martyrology, was bishop of Porto, Italy, who was put to death for his faith on August 22 either there or at Ostia during the reign of Emperor Alexander. He is often confused with Hippolytus of Rome (died A.D. 235).

Hippolytus of Rome

Hippolytus of Rome (about A.D. 170-235), sometimes called Ypolitus (Italian, Ippolito) was an orthodox catholic Christian priest. He was one of the most prolific ecclesiastical writers of the early Church and among the most important Christian theologians of the third century. He is considered by historians to have been antipope of the Church of Rome from about 217 to 235. He is venerated in the Eastern Orthodox tradition as a hieromartyr , and a saint. His Orthodox feast day is January 30.

Life

The early life of Hippolytus is unknown. He was born in the second half of the second century about the year 170, probably in Rome, and lived in Rome when young. Greek was his native tongue. He is believed to have been a disciple of Irenaeus of Lyons and to have met Origen. At the beginning of the third century he was a priest noted for his learning, eloquence, zeal, and moral earnestness. The best historians of literature in the ancient church, including Eusebius of Caesarea and Jerome, openly confess they cannot name where Hippolytus the biblical commentator and theologian served in leadership. They had read his works but did not possess evidence of his community. Photios I of Constantinople describes him in his Bibliotheca (cod. 121) as a

Hippolytus (c. 170–235 AD) was one of the most important second-third century Christian theologians, whose provenance, identity and corpus remain elusive to scholars and historians. Suggested communities include Palestine, Egypt, Anatolia, Rome and regions of the mideast. He was also noted to be a bishop of an unspecified city by Eusebius of Caesarea and Jerome and by the poet Prudentius as bishop of Portus, a port for Rome.

In the "Refutation of All Heresies" Hippolytus set out to refute the doctrines of the Gnostics and condemn heretics by showing that their views were taken from pagan philosophy and oriental theosophy.

From the details of his work, Philosophoumena, Hippolytus apparently was in Rome during the time Victor was the bishop of Rome (189-199) and a leader of the Roman church during the pontificate of St. Zephyrinus (c. 199–217).

He is known today for promoting orthodox Christology amid the confusion and bad doctrine in the church at Rome. Hippolytus was a presbyter (elder) in the church at Rome while Zephyrinus and Callistus served as the bishops. Hippolytus also came into conflict with the opinions of the bishops of Rome on christological issues of the day

Hippolytus was a leader of the Roman church during the pontificate (c. 199–217) of St. Zephyrinus, whom he attacked as being a modalist (one who conceives that the entire Trinity dwells in Christ and who maintains that the names Father and Son are only different designations for the same subject). Hippolytus, rather, was a champion of the Logos doctrine that …

The Philosophoumena, that is a part of his larger work "Refutation of All Heresies", shows that he dissented from the compassionate views of Zephyrinus, whom he considered to be a weak man "unskilled the church's rule", and ‎Callistus I of Rome (217-222) concerning the reception of backsliders and heretics who had repented.

Hippolytus also came into conflict with the opinions of the bishops of Rome on christological issues of the day to such an extant that came to allow himself to be elected a rival bishop of Rome, the first antipope.

Hippolytus (d. c. 235). A priest at Rome known for his learning, he may have been a disciple of St. Irenaeus and became a major theological writer of the early Church. He denounced Pope St. Zephrinus for his leniency to the Christological heresies abroad in Rome, especially Modalism and Sabellianism. When Pope St. Callistus I was elected Pope in 217, Hippolytus allowed himself to be elected antipope by his small band of followers and opposed Callistus' successors, Popes Urban and Pontian as well. Hippolytus was banished to Sardinia during Emperor Maximinus' persecution of Christians in 235 with Pope Pontian, who reconciled him and brought him back into the Church. He died on Sardinia, a martyr from the sufferings he endured. His most important work was A Refutation of All Heresies; he also wrote commentaries on Daniel and the Song of Songs and The Apostolic Traditions. August 3.

Death

Under the persecutions of emperor Maximinus Thrax Hippolytus was exiled to Sardinia in 235 where he died, reportedly a martyr. His body was returned to Rome and interred in a cemetery on the Via Tiburtina. By about 255, he was considered a martyred priest by the Church in Rome, indicating that he had been reconciled with the Church and not considered a schismatic.
