# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Liberius became bishop of Rome on 17 May 352, consecrated five days later as successor to Julius I. His fourteen-year papacy unfolded during the fourth century's doctrinal storms, and whatever happened in those years left him off the Roman Martyrology when it was compiled — the earliest pontiff to miss the roll. Only one other pope in that half-millennium, Anastasius II, shares the distinction. The Greek Menology, Eastern Christianity's measure of sainthood, did record him. He died on 24 September 366, his legacy a footnote about absence rather than act.
