 Pope St. Linus
All the ancient records of the Roman bishops which have been handed down to us by St. Irenaeus, Julius Africanus, St. Hippolytus, Eusebius, also the Liberian catalogue of 354, place the name of Linus directly after that of the Prince of the Apostles, St. Peter.
These records are traced back to a list of the Roman bishops which existed in the time of Pope Eleutherus (about 174-189), when Irenaeus wrote his book "Adversus haereses".
As opposed to this testimony, we cannot accept as more reliable Tertullian's assertion, which unquestionably places St. Clement (De praescriptione, xxii) after the Apostle Peter, as was also done later by other Latin scholars (Jerome, "De vir.

Irenaeus, in his work Adversus Haereses, states that Jesus “is the holy Lord, the Wonderful, the Counselor, the Beautiful in appearance, and the Mighty God, coming on the clouds as the Judge of all men; —all these things did the Scriptures prophesy of Him”.
In his "Adversus Praxean" and "De pudicitia", he wrote that the Logos is distinct from the Father as a person and that he is the “third person” in the “Trinity”.
Iraeneus even titled his book "Adversus Haereses" which translates to: Against Heresies.

He is described as nautes, nauclerus, a ship owner, by Rhodon and Tertullian, who wrote about a generation after Marcion's death [1].
The hostile confrontation of Marcion described in Adversus haereses of Polycarp's pupil Irenaeus was expanded in a more detailed and more furious polemic written by Tertullian, Adversus Marcionem [2].
Hippolytus says he was the son of a bishop who excommunicated him on grounds of immorality, a story that is difficult to believe given other statements that he was a very moral man and the strong tendency to accuse heretics of immorality.

 Irenaeus: The Most Dangerous Heretic?
In addition to the doctrinal errors that Irenaeus promoted through his writings and attempt at unifying under Roman Catholicism, the one category of his errors that will wreak havoc upon the world is his prophetic misunderstandings.
Elijah, too, was caught up [when he was yet] in the substance of the [natural] form; thus exhibiting in prophecy the assumption of those who are spiritual, and that nothing stood in the way of their body being translated and caught up.
The truth is that Enoch and Elijah are dead and are not preserved to be the final witnesses.

 POPE JOHN PAUL ON THE CONTEMPORARY IMPORTANCE OF ST IRENAEUS
In the eyes of Irenaeus, this Gospel, like those of Matthew, Mark and Luke, is essentially a witness to the Paradosis, to the tradition which the Spirit had entrusted to the Apostles and their successors, the bishops.
Another type of clear relationship desired by John Paul II is that which regards exegesis and Scripture: "Today as yesterday, exegesis must lead to theology and theology must take its point of departure from a continual and updated return to the Scriptures read in the Church" (Address, n.
In reading Adversus Haereses, a theologian of the 1950s was not too certain whether he was dealing with a study in theology or a work of exegesis.

Consequently, he says, every Church throughout the world must be in accord with the Roman Church ["Adversus Haereses" III, 3, 2].
The Church's perseverance in the apostolic tradition is thus guaranteed by the continuity between the original community of the apostles and the College of Bishops.

The unity of the Church is above every human and earthly union, for it has been given from above as a perfect and divine gift.
"Where the Church is, there is the Spirit of God; and where the Spirit of God is, there is the Church, and every kind of grace" (St. Irenaeus of Lyons, Adversus Haereses, 3, 24).

Born in Asia Minor in about 130 A.D., he became Bishop of Lyons and died as a martyr early in the third century.
His main work, Adversus Haereses (Against the Heresies), is as relevant today as it was eighteen hundred years ago.
It is a critique of Gnosticism, the `anti-body' heresy, which, far from dying out, continues to flourish as the main threat to the Christian faith in our own day.

 [No title]
 HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irenaeus" \o "Irenaeus" Irenaeus (Adversus Haereses) described several different schools of 2nd century gnosticism in disparaging and often sarcastic detail while contrasting them with Christianity, to their detriment.
Nevertheless, most discussion of gnosticism relied heavily on Irenaeus and other heresiologists; in fairness to investigators, this was not by choice, but because of a simple lack of alternative sources.
However, there has always been a great deal of diversity within gnosticism and modern gnostic doctrines sometimes have little to do with ancient gnosticism; the application of the antiquated term to these distinctly modern movements, far from being a clarification of the nature of gnosticism, further occludes its true nature.

Or do they not remind one even more of the cults of certain pagan sects which made a special cult of the serpent of the constellation Ophiuchus (if we are to believe the Astonomica of Manilius, 5; 389-93)?
