	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Alexander (of Alexandria)
		Alexander was particularly obnoxious to him, although so tolerant at first of the errors of Arius that the clergy nearly revolted.
		Finally the heresy was condemned in a council held in Alexandria, and later on, as is well known, in the general Council of Nicaea, whose Acts Alexander is credited with having drawn up.
		It is worth recording that the great Athanasius succeeded Alexander, the dying pontiff compelling the future doctor of the Church to accept the post.

	Saint Patrick's Church: Saints of February 26
		Named bishop of Alexandria in 313 to succeed Saint Achillas, Saint Alexander is famed chiefly for his opposition to the Arian heresy, which claimed the Jesus was not truly God, that the Son was a creature, and that there was a time when the Son did not exist.
		As a bishop, Alexander seems to have preferred monks as bishops, appointing by preference those who had lived in hermitages or in the desert since he considered these the proper models of what a bishop ought to be to his flock.
		Alexander also insisted on charity to the poor in the dioceses under his control--a thing for which he was famous in the diocese of Alexandria.

	Alexander of Alexandria (d. 328)
		Arius was condemned by a synod in Alexandria, in 320.
		When banished, he went to Palestine; and, as he was well received there, Alexander wrote first to certain bishops separately, then an encyclical letter to all the bishops of the church, setting forth the errors of Arius.
		The interference of the Emperor Constantine, though intended to still the rising storm, gave only occasion to more debate; and in 325 the first ecumenical council followed.
