# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Felix became bishop of Rome on 13 March 483, inheriting a Church already strained by theological dispute. When the Henotikon — a compromise statement aimed at healing division over Christ's nature — emerged from the East, Felix repudiated it outright. That rejection marked the beginning of the Acacian schism, freezing relations between Rome and Constantinople for a generation. He held the see for nine years, never wavering. Felix died on 1 March 492, commemorated ever since on that date.
