ST. IRENAEUS – BISHOP AND MARTYR: JUNE 28

June 28, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

St. Irenaeus is one of the most important theologians of the 2nd century.  Very little is known of him.  He was born in Asia Minor around 130.  He was placed in the care of the Bishop of Smyrna and St. Polycarp, the disciple of St. John the Apostle.  After studying in Rome, he became a priest of Lyons in Gaul.  He became Bishop of Lyons in 178 succeeding St. Pothinus.  He converted many to the Faith through his preaching and writings and did much to combat the rampant heresies, especially of the Gnostics and Valentinians.  His principal works are: “Against Heresies” and “The Proof of the Apostolic Preaching“.  He is regarded as a link between the East and West.  During the persecution of Septimus, he died a martyr in 202.
