Christian Biographies is dedicated to bringing Informative and Accessible Introductions on Christians who have impacted the faith throughout the past 2000 years. Whether you're a student looking to start research or just someone into history; these videos help you start in the right place.
The time periods covered are split between 0-500; 500-1500; 1500-1900; and 1900-Present. Our goal is not to focus on one group or sect, but to create biographies for a wide range of beliefs within what is considered the Christian faith. Because of this, there are people we will cover that may be regarded as Heroes to one group but Heretics to another.
Who to look for? Benedict of Nursia, Justin Martyr, William Tyndale, Charles Finney, Francis Schaeffer, Dominic, Karl Barth, John Knox, Karl Rahner, James Cone, Thomas Aquinas, Elizabeth Fry, Stanley Hauerwas, etc.
We encourage any feedback, but we hope that we can create a community of conversation and exploration without judgment and condemnation.

The First Non-Saint Pope in Christian History: Liberius
Pope Liberius 1st was the 39th pope in the Roman Catholic tradition. However, he is most known as the first Pope not to receive the title of Saint. In this video, we will examine Liberius's life, see why he was the first Pope not to be awarded the title of Saint, and consider what that legacy means for us today.

20:36 The New Liberius
22:36 Death of Liberius and Legacy
The life of Liberius has gone through many different stages throughout Christian history. A contemporary of his day, Saint Athanasius of Alexandria was on the receiving end of many of the negative actions of Liberius. Athanasius was outspoken about his hatred toward Liberius and called for his removal as leader of the Church. However, Pope Pius IX would later become a near apologist for Liberius whom he stated did nothing wrong.
Liberius would become Bishop of Rome sometime around 352 AD. This title would retroactively become the title of Pope, and in his life, it is evident that his position came with it a major role that would attempt to hold off Emperor Constantius II and his fight for Arianism.
Liberius's legacy comes from his inability to fully fight off the heretical belief system of Arianism. This was the belief that rejected the divinity of Jesus and sought to make him separate from the Father. This belief was opposed by the Nicene Creed that the Church had developed before the papacy of Liberius began.
This battle between Arianism and Nicene Orthodoxy had been raging on before LIberius's papacy began, and would continue after his death. But while he was alive, his failure to take a strong stance would begin to cause many problems in his life. He refused to attend some important meetings, deciding to only send delegates, and thus allowed Athanasius to be condemned, and Arianism to be promoted.
At this point Liberius had to step in and defend his beliefs, so he met with Emperor Constantius II and demanded he repent of his ways. Constantius did not repent, and exiled Liberius to Thrace and elected a new Pope, Anti-Pope Felix II to take over for Liberius. Although this helped to solidify his stance for Nicene Orthodoxy in the minds of many, it would only last a few years as his time in Thrace caused a complete change in his position.
While in Thrace he sent word to the Emperor that he would be willing to agree to the previous terms if he would make him Pope once again. This is single-handily the thing that caused Liebrius to lose the opportunity of becoming a saint. He allowed the Arian movement to attach his name to some letters that would circulate that he believed in the Arian movement, as well as the Sirmian Creed which outlined their opposition to Nicene Creed Orthodox theology.
Liberius came back and kicked out Felix, taking back his role as leader of the Church. However, his reputation had been destroyed and for many, they viewed this as a betrayal that all of those martyrs that had come before him had stood for. But just a little after returning, Emperor Constantius II would pass away. After his death, Emperor Julian took over and was extremely hostile toward the Christian community.
This new persecution led to a renewal of the Christian community. Many of those who pushed for Arianism left the Church, and Liberius turned once again back to his Nicene Orthodoxy. He never really addressed the issue, rather, he helped guide the Church back to the orthodoxy. Although he would help to repair his reputation later in his life, compared to what he had given up to be back where he was, it would forever ruin his opportunity to be immortalized as a Saint.
But just because Liberius is not considered a Saint, it doesn't mean that he was unredeemable, or that there is no reason to study his life. It is difficult to imagine what any of us would do in this position, but it is a reminder that even someone in the highest position in Christianity can fall into the temptation of comfortability. But it didn't end there, Liberius reminds us that even if we do fall, we can always turn back to Jesus and return to the faithful teachings that the Church has preserved throughout history.

Saint Benedict of Nursia: The Father of Western Monasticism
Thank you😊
Church councils do not make saints. All born again Christians are saints. Living saints in the Bible.
Great Men never die , they just sleep . The Campbell were great , who strived to establish a true Church of Christ under very difficult conditions . God bless their souls .
How could jesus be fully God and still die? God can not die. If just the fully human part of him had died, then there was no sacrifice, as he'd still be fully God.
Who informs God that someone is considered a ‘Saint’ and should be given Christ’s position as intercessor in heaven? The same people who informed God about purgatory and when souls can be sprung? Or that Mary was always a virgin and is now co-redeemer? The ultimate hubris, indeed. “To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:” 1 Corinthians 1:2 NASB1995
The Eastern Orthodox certainly didn’t reject Popes back then…..
And there is only one laity, not many laties.
The emperor was Constantius, not Constantinius.
I heard that Pope Nicholas III was actually quite UNDESERVING of being placed in Dante's Inferno...
You’re a hidden gem bro please make more vids
Well, while discussing about the saint-hood of Liberius, we could at least agree that there should be no Saint Borgia neither in catholic nor orthodox church.
This popped up in my feed. Thank you for an interesting and informative video. I've subscribed, and hope your channel flouishes with many more in due course.
Thank you for the truth 🎉
Every christian is a saint
Thank you I have to write a biography report on her😊
Would you be able to do more Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox?
He need to be forgotten! He turned Gods people away from Gods Law! The father of replacement theology!
Popes have nothing to do with Christianity.
In your introduction you say 'the word becomes man' but the Bible's is this " the word was made flesh" kjv, not man but flesh
He likely is a Saint , but not a Canonized one .Sainthood is basically being in Heaven .
I agree, thanks for the comment
I hope you cover George Fox. I find the Quakers fascinating, especially their role in colonial America through antebellum United States.

Pope Liberius of Rome is a Saint in my religion Eastern Orthodox (Antiochian)
Thank you for the comment!
Men in dresses.

I think its funny that a religion channel uses CE instead of AD
One thing that you need to do is give information about concepts which are important to your videos. You should have explained what the heresy was promoting and why it was in conflict with church teaching.
Do you have a video on Felix the anti Pope?
Unfortunately not, but I have a video on Athanasius of Alexandria who did not think very highly of Liberius.
@ChristianBiographies thanks! I'll check it out!
Awesome video! Subscribed - going to watch more of your vids!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the variety of videos on the channel.

The name of the Roman Emperor was pronounced "Con-stant-ius" sound it out. You're inexplicablably adding an extra "n" and "i" to your pronouncination.
Yeah I have no idea why I did that. I pronounced it that way the first time I started researching several months ago and I never even questioned it the whole time. But yeah I mispronounced it the whole video.
The first pope who was just a Guy
Actually, Pope St. Liberius is a Saint in the Orthodox Church
watch the video
The fact that the pope sent legates to the councils shows nothing about his leadership. It was the custom of the Roman church to send legates to councils and for the Pope not to go himself.
Although it was traditionally acceptable for legates to represent the Pope in these councils, I draw attention to it in this video because of the outcome of the councils. It was clear after the first council that the Emperor was doing everything he could to change the direction and theology of the Church. Because of this, the second time the meeting was held, it was surprising that he still did not attend the council knowing the outcome of the first, and the role that the Arian Emperor was playing in them. But you are correct in your comment, I hope this explains my thought process on why it was significant he didn't attend the councils.
Julian's ascent to power did not lead to his attempting to persecute all Christians (he would eventually have done so, had he lived longer) or a closing of ranks of Christians. Julian recalled everyone from exile in order to ferment dissent in the Church. However, his rule also (temporarily) deprived Imperial support from Arians.
Liberius is actually "most known" for his actions and inactions, not for being "the first Pope not to receive the title (sic!) of Saint". There are sainted Popes before him that are much more obscure. Being considered a saint was part and parcel of being Pope and Liberius was the first to be controversial. His reputation suffered also by the confusion about the stance of his rival, Felix II.
There are definitely Popes that were more obscure, but I think the fact that Liberius was not one of them who was given the status of Saint by the Church is a major part of his legacy. His actions and inactions were the main reason that he was not named among those who were Saints in the early church. As well, the confusion about Felix II helped muddy the water for the life of Liberius, thus impacting his possibility of being a Saint. Because of these things, I think it's best captured by the fact that of the first 49 Popes, he was the only one not suitable enough on record to be named a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church. That is what I mean by most known in the video. Hope that helps clarify the comment in the video, but I appreciate your comment as you are correct in your additions.
@@ChristianBiographies Of course Liberius not being obscure had something to do with him not being considered a saint. If he had reigned for 2 weeks with nothing special to say about him, he would have been considered one. But he stood out in a negative way and hence he wasn't. Being considered a saint in the Roman church (I mean the local Roman church) wasn't special for a Pope at that time.
You are an excellent teacher! I am a Lutheran, but I really appreciate this video and I will subscribe to your channel.
Thank you, that means a lot! I try to cover a wide range of Christian history on the channel so hopefully you'll find some more interesting people that I've previously covered!

Vanity is seeking sainthood. Plus, that's a Catholic tradition. They follow pagan practices. Galatians 3:28 English Standard Version 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. You even used the words Roman Catholic tradition. 🤮 Mark 7:13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
I don't think the majority of people the Church refers to as Saint spent their lives trying to be Saints. The title is usually given to people who followed God regardless of the hardships that came with it. Even if you don't use the title of Saint, you can look all throughout Christian history and find people who are examples to us of how to live life for Christ. You may even know them in your own life. The best Saints are those who never had the intention of being so, they only cared about following God. But you're more than welcome to not like or use the title of Saint, I only respond to give a response to the title of Saint. Thanks for the comment.
@ChristianBiographies Seeking titles is vanity. Why do you believe I need your permission to witness Christ? I don't follow little funny men in pointy hats playing savior. Saints are nothing more than Greek gods renamed to fool the masses who blindly obey. When Christ never said to fo that. Were commanded to stay awake. Hosea 4:6 King James Version 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
@@MoeJoe431Are we not called to be Holy like He is Holy? If I denounce the evil I do and follow Christ with all of my heart, I am doing the will of God and am a Son of God. Sainthood is something that comes along with this inheritance.
Francis will be looked on as perhaps the worst in centuries
So all the popes before this guy had done miraculous works huh? Catholicism and it's offshoots are cults. Right there with Islam
I appreciate the comment, but to clarify, Catholics don't say that the individuals did miraculous works, but that after their passing, God worked through their name or the association to do something miraculous in the world. I know it isn't much different, but just wanted to clarify the process. I doubt that will change your opinion, but I just wanted to clarify their mindset when it comes to the process lol.
What a wonderful saint!
Thank you for the comment!
Not a saint in the Roman Martyrology Pope Liberius is not mentioned as a saint in the Roman Martyrology, making him the first pope in the Catholic Church not to be venerated as a saint. Exiled by Constantius II In 355, Pope Liberius was exiled to Beroea (modern Véroia, Greece) by the Arian Roman emperor Constantius II. Athanasius of Alexandria Pope Liberius unjustly excommunicated Athanasius of Alexandria, but later allowed him back to the See of Rome. Venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church Pope Liberius is mentioned in the Greek Menology, which is the Eastern equivalent to the Western Church's martyrologies.
The Anglican Calendar recognize Pope Liberius on there feast days.
What feast days?
The sainthood of Liberius may be more complicated than this: all the pictures on Wikimedia Commons in which he is portrayed show him with halo and usually the iscription "S." or "Sanctus" (Saint). So, I checked some of the source used by Italian and English Wikipedia, and some of them actually refer to him as a saint, also by the Catholic Church! Even in the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Wall in Rome, where are depicted all the popes, he have an halo, and is labeled as saint. It would be nice to study more about this topic.
Saint Anthony Please protect Antonia daughter of Doctor Milti after her stroke this First Saturday in January 2025
1/30 Out of 50 Papas 48 declared Saints Please tell Which two omitted and why 3/02 Mistake The Orthodox and Catholics were united as one until 1054 AD Therefore he would not reject before this date 3/39 Can you please quote Saint Athanasius words as this is very serious especially as this New Year 2025 is Anniversary of Nicaea May 325 AD to May 2025 AD 4/10 Modernist Bergoglio and none of Vatican II so called Popes are saints See Bishop Williamson sermons website Vatican II Prometheus and The Religion of Man
The other pope not canonized was Pope Anastasius II who was the 50th pope. Although the Church was united before the Schism today the Roman Catholic Church does not recognize him as a Saint which makes him the first Pope not to be named a Saint. If you want to check out the video of Athanasius I did a few years ago. It goes in depth about his life and as a defender of the faith. Thanks for your comment.
It's the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. You're marginalizing Eastern Catholics. The official name of the Church is not Roman, that was a mockery made by Protestants.
Categorically there is a Roman Catholic Church because if you believe in the Pope he is the first among equals by his position as bishop of Rome. Eastern Catholics Western Catholics and Southern Catholics all fall under the leader of Rome. If you don’t believe any other Church is part of the true holy Catholic Church then I understand your argument but then again there wouldn’t be Eastern Catholics there would only be Catholics. Let me know if that was in line with what your frustration is or if I missed the mark. Thanks for your comment!
@ChristianBiographies I am Catholic from the Latin or Roman rite as its called, but that's a rite it isn't representative of the universal identity of the Church. The Catholic Church has multiple rites within it and the leader is based in Rome yes but this isn't by divine obligation it is by divine providence. Peter did not go to Rome for many years and he was our first Pope, later in history some Popes lived in France Avignon instead of Rome until they returned. The adjective Roman is used to reduce the universal scope of the Catholic Church and this is the reason for my comment.
Thank you for your contribution and explanation of your perspective.
@@ChristianBiographies I note also that what I said is the official position of the Catholic Church. The name of the creed is Catholic Church. Thank you for your kind comment and Lord bless you.
The Roman Church is the Catholic Church because the Universal Church subsists in the Roman Church.
But why is it that the bishop of Rome's opinion on aryanism was so important to the early Church ?
Bc of his authority as pope 🇻🇦

Whoever does the narration of the story is constantly mispronouncing the name of the emperor, although, it is written correctly on the slides for the video! It would be great if next time more attention is paid to this b4 the audio is aired.
I research, write, record, and edit all of the videos myself. To be honest I pronounced it in my head the first time I started research and literally never second guesses it the entire several months I was researching. Never even thought twice about the pronunciation till just now lol. Thanks for the comment.
