# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Sixtus I became bishop of Rome around 117 or 119, inheriting leadership of a faith still operating in the empire's shadows. He followed Alexander I and held the office for roughly a decade, guiding the young Church through a period when its structures were forming and its survival was far from assured. He died around 126 or 128 and was succeeded by Telesphorus. His feast day falls on 6 April.
