  St. Hippolytus of Rome - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon
Prudentius wrote a hymn on the martyr Hippolytus ("Peristephanon", hymn XI, in P.L., LX, 530 sqq.), in which he places the scene of the martyrdom at Ostia or Porto, and describes Hippolytus as being torn to pieces by wild horses, evidently a reminiscence of the ancient Hippolytus, son of Theseus.
Hippolytus was a presbyter of the Church of Rome at the beginning of the third century.
The fact that Hippolytus was a schismatic Bishop of Rome and yet was held in high honour afterwards both as martyr and theologian, explains why as early as the fourth century nothing was known as to his see, for he was not on the list of the Roman bishops.

 St. Hippolytus (Pontian and Hippolytus) - Saint of the Day - American Catholic
As a presbyter in Rome, Hippolytus (the name means “a horse turned loose”) was at first “holier than the Church.” He censured the pope for not coming down hard enough on a certain heresy—calling him a tool in the hands of one Callistus, a deacon—and coming close to advocating the opposite heresy himself.
Hippolytus was a rigorist, a vehement and intransigent man for whom even orthodox doctrine and practice were not purified enough.
Hippolytus was a strong defender of orthodoxy, and admitted his excesses by his humble reconciliation.

 COVER STORY: SAINT AND SCOURGE (This Rock: March 1998)
Hippolytus is best known as the author of The Apostolic Tradition, a liturgical manual that includes the Mass text used by post?Vatican II liturgists to compose the current Second Eucharistic Prayer.
Hippolytus tried to strengthen his contention that Callistus was a Sabellian by quoting him, but he just couldn't drive his charge home.
That Hippolytus would abandon his savage indignation at what he regarded as the Callistian party is the miracle of softening an embittered heart, a miracle of the kind that may be the most dazzling ever deployed by our Lord.

What makes Hippolytus unique, however, among the early anti-gnostic writers is that he quotes extensively from the condemned writings of the heretics in framing his arguments against them.
Hippolytus is also remembered as a leader of the opposition against the corruption, viciousness, and doctrinal wanderings of the early Bishops of Rome (who were later to be re-named "Popes").
Due to the strength of his opposition against "Pope" Callistus I (217-222 e.v.), Hippolytus was elected as a schismatic Bishop of Rome ("Antipope") by a circle of his followers.

The reign of the first Antipope John XXIII (Baldassare Cossa) spanned five years, from 1410 to 1415, just like the reign of the recent Antipope John XXIII (Angelo Roncalli), which spanned five years, from 1958 to 1963.
The Council of Constance later became a true ecumenical council, with certain sessions approved by the true Pope; but at the time that Antipope John XXIII (Baldassare Cossa) opened it, it was a false council.
We believe that the similarities between the first Antipope John XXIII (Baldassare Cossa) and the second (Angelo Roncalli) are not merely coincidences.
