Hippolytus, St
(
c.
170–

236).
Church
father
. He was an important
priest
in the Roman Church and an enemy of
Sabellianism
. However, he criticized the lax policy of Pope Callistus (217–22) in readmitting penitents to
communion
, and seems to have been elected by a party of right-wing dissidents as rival bishop of Rome. Probably he was reconciled to the pope's party before his death.
Hippolytus's principal work is his
Refutation of all
Heresies
(largely discovered only in the 19th cent.), whose object was to show that all heresies derived from pagan philosophy. Historically more important is his treatise
The Apostolic Tradition
; this was composed
c.
215, and contains detailed descriptions of the rites of
ordination
,
baptism
, and the
eucharist
as practised at the time in Rome. Feast day, 13 Aug. (W.), 30 Jan. (E.).
