Hilary of Rome
St. Hilary was a Sardinian whom Leo the Great made an archdeacon. Hilary attended the council of Ephesus in 449, where he opposed the condemnation of Bishop Flavian of Constantinople. Elected to the papacy in 461, Hilary convened a council four years later to condemn the practice of bishops naming their own successors. Hilary died in 468 and was buried in the monastery of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls, which he may have founded.
