Profile
Bishop. Reluctant 21st pope, elected after ayear-and-a-half period during which the persecutions were so bad that papalascension was a quick death sentence.
Worked to maintain unity in a time of schism and apostasy.Fought Novatianism and called a synod of bishops to confirm him as rightful pontiff, as opposed to the anti-pope Novatian. Had the support of Saint Cyprian ofCarthage and Saint Dionysius. He welcomed back those who had apostacized duringthe persecutions of Decius; the documents that settled this matter prove thefinal authority of the Pope. Exiled to Centemcellae in 252 by Roman authoritiesto punish Christians in general, who were said to have provoked the gods tosend plague against Rome. Martyr.
A document from Cornelius shows the size of the Churchin Rome in his papacy: 46 priests, 7 deacons, 7 subdeacons, approximately50, 000 Christians.
