# Pope Anastasius I

> A two-year papacy spent hunting heresy in translation. Anastasius I condemned the works of Origen the moment they appeared in Latin,召ening councils and writing warnings that survive in Jerome's letters—a reign defined less by what it built than by what it refused to let spread.

## Bio

Born in Rome to a man named Maximus, Anastasius became bishop on 27 November 399, succeeding Siricius. Almost immediately he turned against the newly translated writings of the Alexandrian theologian Origen, fighting them through his entire tenure. In 400 he convened a council that declared Origen unfaithful to the Church; his own letter promised that any other Origen texts "and their author are alike condemned by me." He pushed Christians in North Africa to resist Donatism and ordered priests to stand and bow when reading the gospels. Jerome, Augustine, and Paulinus counted him a friend—Jerome called him a man of great holiness, rich in his poverty. He died in Rome on 19 December 401 and was buried in the Catacomb of Pontian alongside his successor, Innocent I, whom Jerome called his son, though likely in rank rather than blood.
