Lucifer of Cagliari

Lucifer of Cagliari , d. 370, bishop of Cagliari, Sardinia (353-70), violent opponent of Arianism . As legate of Pope Liberius he went to the council at Milan (355) that Constantius disbanded by exiling the Catholic delegates. Lucifer was bitter against those who seemed to submit to Arianism, and on his return to Sardinia (362) he formed a sect of his own, barring all who had strayed into Arianism at all. His peremptory consecration of a bishop for Antioch (outside his jurisdiction) perpetuated the schism of Meletius .

Lucifer (d. 370/71), Bp. of Cagliari. An anti-*Arian theologian, at the first session of the Council of Milan (354) he vehemently opposed the proposal to condemn Athanasius; his personal altercation with the Emp. Constantius that followed led to his banishment. After the accession of Julian, he was released (362) and made his way to Antioch, where by consecrating Paulinus bishop, he created a schism.
