Summary

A fifth-century pope whose seventeen-month reign was spent picking fights he couldn't finish — backing one French diocese against another, alienating African bishops, and leaving his own Roman clergy so split they could barely agree on his successor.

Biography

About

Zosimus became bishop of Rome on 18 March 417 and immediately waded into a simmering territorial dispute in Gaul, issuing forceful rulings that favoured the See of Arles over Vienne without actually resolving anything. His combative style marked every controversy he touched, from Gaul to Africa to Rome itself, where his own clergy fractured under the weight of his decisions. By the time he died on 26 December 418, barely a year and a half into the job, the church he led was deeply divided.
