Today, 11 January, is the feast of ...
* Hyginus, pope (c. 142)
- a Greek (and perhaps a philosopher), he had to deal with
two Gnostic heresiarchs, Valentinus and Cerdo
* Theodosius the Cenobiarch (529)
- he had to deal with an emperor, Anastasius, who tried to
get Theodosius to profess that the divine and human natures
in Christ were confounded into one nature; Theodosius
preached the importance of the general councils: 'If anyone
receives not the four general councils as the four gospels,
let him be anathema'
Glossa:
The same sentiment is quoted from the Register of Gregory I in Gratian's
Decretum (D. 15 c. 2). (There are, of course, intermediate sources.)
according to the ever helpful tom izbicki
* Salvius or Sauve, bishop of Amiens (c. 625)
- noted for his miracles; relics were venerated in Montreuil
(Picardy) before being translated to Amiens
