Pope during the mid-fifth century, a troubled time of barbarian armies ravaging the once mighty Roman Empire, now in political and military collapse with a vacuum of leadership. Born into an aristocratic Roman family, one of greatest popes of Christian history and the first titled “the Great.” Gifted in reconciliation between disputing Christian groups, as well as secular fights. A Doctor of the Church, he fought to preserve the unity of the Church and the full deposit of faith, rooting out heresies. Courageous, he led Rome’s defense against Attila the Hun in 452 as a peacemaker, ensuring the peoples’ safety from invading armies.
