Saint Celestine I

Saint Celestine I , d. 432, pope (422-32), an Italian; successor of St. Boniface I. The opposition of St. Cyril of Alexandria to Nestorianism inspired both sides to appeal to the pope, who judged that Nestorius should be excommunicated if he refused to retract. Celestine sent legates to the Council of Ephesus with orders not to discuss, but to judge. Celestine also advanced orthodoxy in the West by combatting Pelagianism in Gaul and by sending Germanus of Auxerre to Britain. He was succeeded by St. Sixtus III. Feast: July 27.

Celestine I, St (d. 432), Pope from 422. His support for Apiarius led a Council at Carthage, c.424, to protest against what the Africans regarded as an infringement of their rights. In 429 he sent Germanus of Auxerre to Britain to combat Pelagianism. At a Roman Synod in 430 he formally condemned Nestorius. Feast day in the E., 8 Apr.; in the W., formerly 6 Apr.; after 1922, 22 July; now suppressed.
