Papal Snapshot: Origen Repents to St. Pope Fabian (mid 200s) | Ep. 4

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we do another "Papal Snapshot." Each Papal Snapshot will examine one story, document, or quote from the ancient Church, and unpack what it reveals about the papacy.

This Papal Snapshot covers the remarkable instance of Origin (c. 185-c. 253)—a prominent Christian theologian from Alexandria, Egypt—repenting to St. Pope Fabian (died 250) for some of his doctrinal errors.
