He was a Spanish archbishop and is one of the 37 Doctors of the Church. He combated Arianism which taught that Jesus is not God. He converted the leaders in his area, including the Visigoths. He protected and supported monks. He wrote the "Etymologiae," a compilation of facts and learnings from the known world during that time. It was like a primitive encyclopedia.

Antipopes

  The existence of antipopes is one of the most unusual features of Church history. The first to be declared Pope, but be considered invalidly elected at the time or by history was St. Hippolytus, who disagreed with the Pope of the day but was later reconciled and died for the faith. Most antipopes have come about due to the intrigues of cardinals, secular princes or Roman nobility. ANTIPOPE (ALLEGED REIGN) ST.
