	IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH & THE “MONARCHICAL BISHOP”
		Ignatius was condemned by the imperial authorities and sent to Rome to die for the gratification of the people.
		Ignatius does not even mention a bishop in Rome, which supports evidence from Clement and Hermas that the church in Rome was governed by a plurality of elders at the beginning of the second century (Ferguson 174).
		Ignatius was thus one of the first to advocate a pattern for church government that deviated from the New Testament model.

	Ignatius of Antioch Summary
		Ignatius is the first Christian writer to use the term catholic for the church, and he insists on the unity of the church under the auspices of the bishop.
		Ignatius is generally considered to be one of the Apostolic Fathers (the earliest authoritative group of the Church Fathers) and a saint by both the Catholics, who celebrate his feast day on October 17, and the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, who celebrate his feast day on December 20.
		After Ignatius' martyrdom in the Flavian Amphitheatre, his remains were honorably carried back to Antioch by his companions, and were first interred outside the city gates, then removed by the Emperor Theodosius II to the Tychaeum, or Temple of Tyche which was converted into a Christian church dedicated to Ignatius.

		He records Ignatius as having been sent to Rome to be fed to the wild beasts and on his way edified the churches by giving them oral homilies and by writing several letters.

		Ignatius writes that "the virginity of Mary and her offspring, as well as the death of the Lord, seized (elaven) the prince of this world: three thunderous mysteries wrought in the silence of God...

		For Ignatius "Katholike ecclesia" designates the people themselves, that is, "the Church, or community according to all." In this term the identity of communities living in Christ is presupposed, as will become clearer in discussing the position of the bishop in the thought of St. Ignatius.
