	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Athanasius
		Athanasius was the greatest champion of Catholic belief on the subject of the Incarnation that the Church has ever known and in his lifetime earned the characteristic title of "Father of Orthodoxy", by which he has been distinguished every since.
		The Alexandria of his boyhood was an epitome, intellectually, morally, and politically, of that ethnically many-coloured Graeco-Roman world, over which the Church of the fourth and fifth centuries was beginning at last, with undismayed consciousness, after nearly three hundred years of unwearying propagandism, to realize its supremacy.
		Athanasius was condemned to go into exile at Treves, where he was received with the utmost kindness by the saintly Bishop Maximinus and the emperor's eldest son, Constantine.

	Athanasius, Saint. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Made bishop of Alexandria upon the death of his superior, he faced a conspiracy led by Eusebius of Nicomedia to return the condemned Arius to Egypt.
		Athanasius was restored briefly in 362, only to be quickly exiled by Julian and again by Valens (365).
		The climate was changing, however, and by 366 Athanasius was secure in his see, where he remained the spokesman for orthodoxy until his death.

	The Patriarchate of Alexandria Down the Centuries
		Because of its geographical position, the city of Alexandria also became a city which linked ancient Egyptian civilization with that of Greece and Rome and, then with that of the Jews, to emerge as, a renowned capital which was a place of meeting and cross-influence among the main spiritual and intellectual trends of the time.
		At this period, when the Catechetical School of Alexandria was at the height of its fame and when the first great Fathers and Teacher's of the Catholic Church of Alexandria were making their appearance naturally enough, since this was the greatest centre of Christianity, the indigenous population of Egypt was evolving features of its own.
		The bishops under the primacy of Alexandria were not even entitled to resolve ecclesiastical matters in their areas of jurisdiction: only the Pope of Alexandria was recognised as having the right to settle such problems.

	Cultural Catholic - Pope Liberius
		Pope Liberius, a Roman, became pope on April 17, 352, amid the Arian crisis of the 4th century.

	The Alleged Fall of Pope Liberius
		The faith of Athanasius was that of the Church; his sufferings for that faith had made him a confessor, almost a martyr, whose acquittal by the Pope was hailed with acclamations of joy by the Catholic world, while it stung like a barbed arrow the imperial accuser, and maddened him beyond control.
		The Pope sent two legates to him, Vincent of Capua and the veteran Osius, with the hope of appeasing his wrath, and solicited him to convene a general synod.
		Athanasius, in his Apologia, thus relates the fall of Osius (or Hosius) of Cordova: (He signed the condemnation), "not because he thought us guilty, but because he was unable, by reason of his age and weakness, to bear his torture," No.89.

	St. Athanasius, Arianism, and the Holy See Rome Papacy
		Athanasius attended, accompanied by forty-nine of his suffragans, but when he saw he could expect no justice, he retired with them and was condemned in his absence.
		To Athanasius, conscious of their determined enmity, it was clear that the Eusebian party was aiming at the subversion of the Nicene faith by gradually depriving it of its main supports.
		Athanasius voted in it, and stood for the united voice of the ninety Bishops of Egypt who were his suffragans, and held his views.

	Creationism, Pope John Paul II, and the Case Against Theistic Evolution
		Athanasius (295-373): "For as to the separate stars or the great lights, not this appeared first, and that second, but in one day and by the same command, they were all called into being.
		This is confirmed also in II, 49 as he says, "for it was not first one and then another, but all at once were constituted after their kinds." "Kinds" refers to the specific creatures being made, as Athanasius goes on to say in the remainder of the context.
		In the face of such evidence, we are led to suspect that perhaps the Pope did not write the speech addressed to the Pontifical Academy of Science; rather, the whole or part of it was crafted by a member of the PAS and placed in the hands of the Pope.

		The fragment which follows, containing an interesting report of a story told by Athanasius to Ammonius, Bishop of Pachnemunis, is inserted here as furnishing undesignedly important details as to the movements of Athanasius of Athanasius in 363.
		The writer was at that time a bishop (see unknown): he was born about 335, as he was seventeen years old when he embraced the monastic life a year `and more' after the proclamation of Gallus as Caesar (Mar. 15, 351).
		About the time of expulsion of Athanasius by Syrianus he retired to Nitria, where he remained many years, and finally returned to Alexandria, where he appears (infra) as one of the clergy; the date of his elevation to the Episcopate cannot be fixed, but it obviously cannot be as early as 356-7 (so D.C.B. i.

	SAINTS AND FEASTS
		Saint Athanasius was to spend the remainder of his life laboring in defense of this Holy Council.
		Because Athanasius had converted many pagans, and the priests of the idols in Egypt wrote to Julian that if Athanasius remained, idolatry would perish in Egypt, the heathen Emperor ordered not Athanasius's exile, but his death.
		Saint Athanasius suffered his fifth and last exile under Valens in 365, which only lasted four months because Valens, fearing a sedition among the Egyptians for their beloved Archbishop, revoked his edict in February, 366.

	II. The Coptic Church and Worship
		The School of Alexandria paid attention to science and philosophy, and therefore did not show any hostility towards philosophers, on the contrary, for some of the churchmen were students in the philosophical School "the Museum" and they attracted many of its leaders--the philosophers--to Christianity.
		Pope Athanasius the Apostolic tells us in a paschal letter that "Christ" is our feast.
		Therefore, St. Clement of Alexandria states that the church is the icon of heaven.

	St. Jerome and Rome Papacy Pope
		In these he begs for the Pope's decision as to which of the three claimants of the patriarchal see of Antioch is to be communicated with.
		That the Pope sat in the Chair of Peter, and was successor of the fisherman, was repeated frequently by St. Jerome in later years, as we have seen.
		We have seen his relations with four successive popes, and a love of Rome and a tenacity of Roman faith which was as fresh at the end of his life as when he received the garment of Christ in the Lateran baptistery.
