“Although Caesarius saved and ransomed many countryside citizens, his actions in redeeming captives was quite controversial. Although he ransomed many peasants of his country, he also ransomed numerous barbarians and enemies of the city.
He defended himself by stating that barbarians were human beings and therefore had the potential to enter the City of God.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesarius_of_Arles)
