, God is not the name of God, but an opinion about Him.
Let your accusations be few in number, even if they be just.
God has conferred upon men liberty of their own will, in order that by purity and sinlessness of life they may become like unto God.
About this person
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.
