	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Callistus I
		ix) Callistus was the slave of Carpophorus, a Christian of the household of Caesar.
		Hippolytus himself shows that it was as a Christian that Callistus was sent to the mines, and therefore as a confessor, and that it was as a Christian that he was released.
		The orthodoxy of Callistus is challenged by both Hippolytus and Tertullian on the ground that in a famous edict he granted Communion after due penance to those who had committed adultery and fornication.

		As pope he was chiefly concerned with the organization of Christian Europe against the invasion of the Turks.
		The pope endeavoured to make peace between Frederick III and Ladislaus of Hungary, but during the negotiations Ladislaus died (1457), after a reign of seven years, and his death was the occasion of renewed disputes between the three great representatives of the House of Hapsburg, Frederick III, Albrecht VI, and Sigismund of Tyrol.
		In France, the Dauphin was in favour of the proposals of Callistus, but the king refused to join in the enterprise, and the clergy were so discontented with the levy of the crusading tax that in many provinces they refused to pay, and appealed to a general council.

		Again Callistus allowed the lower clergy to marry, and permitted noble ladies to marry low persons and slaves, which by the Roman law was forbidden; he had thus given occasion for infanticide.

		When he became pope in 198 or 199, Zephyrinus made Callistus (or Calixtus) effectively his "chief minister" and eventually a deacon or archdeacon, with such major responsibilities as the Christian cemeteries and perhaps the organization of the Roman parish, or titular, churches.

		Callistus had issued a decree, contrary to the practice of some bishops, that persons guilty of serious crimes, such as murder, adultery or apostasy, if penitent and willing to perform the prescribed penance, were to be forgiven and received back into the Christian community.
		Callistus also was unpopular with Hippolytus for many things including ruling that committing a mortal sin is not sufficient reason for deposing a bishop and that marriage between free women and slaves is legitimate, contrary to Roman civil law.

		Pope St. Callistus I. He was born a Roman slave and put in charge of a bank by his Christian master Carpophorus.
		His turbulent reign was marked by his involvement in a controversy over the Incarnation of Christ, his willingness to readmit to Communion those who repented of grave sin notably murder and adultery, and his wish to recognise marriages between free people and slaves, which Roman law did not permit.
		The result was a schism in the Church, led by Hippolytus; in the turmoil Callistus was murdered (222) possibly by being thrown down a well outside his residence in the Trastevere quarter of the city.

		The condemnation was repeated by a council of Rome under Pope Damasus I in 382, in the teeth of Arian charges that the Nicene party's insistence on the divinity of the Son was Sabellian.
		Callistus is the Pope's "adviser and a fellow?champion of these wicked tenets." According to Hippolytus, "the school of these heretics, during the succession of such bishops, continued to acquire strength and augmentation, from the fact that Zephyrinus and Callistus helped them to prevail." Hippolytus remonstrated with both Zephyrinus and Callistus.
		That there might have been a pope who did not believe what he taught may be shocking, but it would be evidence of the Holy Spirit brooding over the bent world, for the reluctant Callistus in any case taught the truth, and that is all that matters in the end.

		Although the facts of his death are uncertain, it is quite generally held that Saint Callistus was martyred about 222.

	Under Pope Callistus II - 1123
		In 1123, during the pontificate of Pope Callistus II, a general Roman council was held "for various important matters of the church", as Callistus himself says in the letter of convocation which he sent on 25 June 1122 to bishop Baldric of Doll.
		Indeed the manner in which the council was called and conducted by the pope and the fathers differed from that of the older councils.
		Thus pope Callistus, following as closely as he could the examples of Gregory VII and Urban II {3}, and supported by the approval of the council, brought to a successful conclusion matters which had engrossed the whole church's effort and zeal for almost fifty years.

	The Title Pontifex Maximus, Supreme Pontiff, Pope Papacy
		Yet, this was only a legal title; and the Popes didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but continued to maintain that their authority came from the Apostle Peter and Peter alone.
		It was not until the Popes began to conflict with several heretical Eastern Emperors (who, by the way, never relinquished the title "Pontifex Maximus" in the Eastern Empire) that the Popes began asserting their legal authority under imperial law.
		However, the mere fact that Tertullian (a heretic) is referring to the Pope this way, shows that Pope Callistus wielded authority outside of his own bishopric and throughout the universal Church.
