# Pope Boniface IV

> He turned Rome's Pantheon — a temple to all the gods — into a church for one. The seventh-century pope who repurposed the empire's grandest pagan monument also ran the papal residence like a cloister, blurring the line between throne and monastery.

## Bio

Boniface IV came up through the church as a deacon under Gregory I, absorbing his mentor's monastic discipline and carrying it into the papacy when he took office in 608. A Benedictine by training, he administered the Lateran Palace as if it were a monastery, not a seat of power, and spent his tenure promoting monastic life across the church. His signature act required imperial consent: converting the Pantheon, Rome's vast pagan temple, into a Christian basilica. In 610 he met with Mellitus, bishop of London, to address the organizational needs of the young English church. He died on 8 May 615, after seven years in office, and the Catholic Church canonized him with a feast day marking the date of his death.
