Bishop Eustathian Party At Antioch Paulinus <ref name="term_15029" />
<p> <b> [[Paulinus]] (6) </b> , bp. of the Eustathian or old [[Catholic]] party at Antioch, 362â€“388, a man highly esteemed for piety. He was one of Eustathius's presbyters, and, subsequently to the death of Eustathius, was recognized as the head of the Eustathians, who, refusing to hold communion with Meletius, with whom they were doctrinally agreed, in consequence of his having been appointed and consecrated by Arians, remained some time without a bishop, holding their meetings for worship in a small church within the walls of Antioch, the use of which had been granted by the Arian bp. Evagrius, out of respect for Paulinus's high character. [[Lucifer]] of Calaris, on his way home from his banishment in Upper Egypt, a.d. 362, went straight to Antioch, where, finding it impossible to reconcile the two contending parties he took the fatal step of ordaining Paulinus bp. of the Eustathian Catholics. This rendered union impossible, and the church had to lament the consequent schism at [[Antioch]] for more than half a century. The controversy between the churches of the West and of Egypt which supported Paulinus, and that of the East which adhered to Meletius, was not finally healed till [[Alexander]] became bp, of Antioch, a.d. 413. For the history of this protracted schism see [[Luciferus]] of Calaris; [[Eustathius]] (3) of Antioch; [[Meletius]] (3) of Antioch; [[Eusebius]] (93) of Vercelli; [[Flavianus]] (4). The death of Paulinus may be dated 388. </p> <p> [[[E.V.]]] </p>
