Profile
Our Saint today was the Pope during the time that Constantine the Great finally made it legal for Christians to exist; February 313. He suffered a lot before this, so even though he sort of died naturally, some consider him a martyr.
It is not known for certain, but he may have been the Pope when the Church was given the Lateran Palace which became the Church Headquarters and Papal residence.
In his writings, Saint Augustine of Hippo mentions him very favorably, with that reference what more can be said?
