Lentorama 2018: Second String Saints
Day 36: Hyginus
Hyginus was pope after Telesphorus, but his history is murky, to the point that his martyrdom can't be proven. He's also credited with establishing the rank for clergy and requiring all churches be consecrated, but who knows?
Hygiuns had to deal with at least a couple of well-known Gnostic heretics - his dealings with them make up most of what passes for a biography - and there's no real discussion of how he became a saint. Other than by being an early pope, proving once again that timing is everything.
