STS. SOTER AND ST. CAIUS: April 22

April 22, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

Little is known of both these saints.  Soter was born at Fondi, Italy.  He was Pope around 167, succeeding Pope St. Anicetus.  He opposed the Montanist heresy.  He was known for his charity, according to a letter of Bishop St. Dionysius of Corinth.  Unreliable tradition claims St. Caius was a Dalmatian and related to Emperor Diocletian.  He became Pope in 283.  He decreed that bishops must be ordained priests before being consecrated Bishops.  He fled to a cave when Diocletian’s persecution of Christians began.  He lived there for eight years until his death.  All of this is unreliable since Diocletian’s persecution didn’t begin until six or seven years after Caius’ death on April 22.
