A single word erased a saint's memory for centuries

This episode explores the institutional forgetting of Hippolytus of Rome, a figure whose extensive writings and contested leadership within the early Western church led to centuries of misidentification. What does his story reveal about the fragility of historical memory?

Person: Hippolytus of Rome
Period: 199 to 235 CE
Location: Rome, Sardinia
Event: Persecution by Emperor Maximinus Thrax
Status: First antipope in church history

- Hippolytus was born around 165 CE in Rome, a city transitioning to Latin, yet he wrote exclusively in Greek.
- He was active across the pontificates of four successive popes: Zephyrinus, Callixtus I, Urban I, and Pontian.
- He accused Pope Zephyrinus of modalism and Callixtus I of extending absolution for adultery.
- Hippolytus allowed himself to be elected rival bishop of Rome, becoming the first antipope.
- In 235 CE, Emperor Maximinus Thrax arrested both Hippolytus and Pope Pontian, deporting them to the mines of Sardinia.
