==References == | <p> pope from 384 to 398, was a firm defender of the orthodox faith and a zealous promoter of the power of the Church through the exercise of a rigid discipline. He condemned the monk [[Jovinian]] and bishop Bonosus of [[Sardica]] (q.v.) as heretics, and zealously prosecuted the suppression of the Manichaean and Priscillianist heresies at Rome. By carefully making use of circumstances he succeeded in attaching Eastern [[Illyria]] to the see of Rome, and induced the bishop of [[Thessalonica]] to acknowledge himself the vicar of Rome for that province. He was the first to make celibacy a law of the Church, and furnished in his Epist. ad Himerium Episc. Turraconensem the earliest decretal to this end. [[Epistles]] from his pen are still extant. See Petr. Conistant. Epist. Rom. Pontificum in Gieseler's Lehsrbuch d. Kirchengeschichte, 1, 2; Bonn, p. 333, and comp. p. 199, 276. See Herzog, Real-Encyklop. s.v. </p> | ||
