Lentorama 2018: Second String Saints
Day 29: Pope Victor I
Another of the many early popes who became saints for no good reason. He was apparently a pope in the late second century, and was the first pope from the Roman province of Africa (he's believed to have been Berber).
Not much is known of his papacy. He excommunicated a writer named Theodotus of Byzantium for his teachings that claimed Jesus was a mere man. Victor also cut ties with several Eastern churches over a dispute on when to celebrate Easter. None of this seems like particularly fruitful ground for sainthood, which explains why he was removed from the saints calendar altogether.
