 COVER STORY: SAINT AND SCOURGE (This Rock: March 1998)
When we meet Pope Zephyrinus, who "imagines that he administers the affairs of the Church," he is "an uninformed and shamefully corrupt man" and patron of the heretic Cleomenes.
It is impossible to tell now whether Zephyrinus and Callistus really acted improperly toward Cleomenes and the Patripassians, but the assertion of indulgence of heresy is not singular in Church history.
In short, the charge made by Hippolytus against Zephyrinus and Callistus was not unique and did not deal with an area defined to be within the scope of papal infallibility.

 St. Pontian, pope and martyr and St. Hippolytus, priest and martyr*
In the reigh of Pope Zephyrinus (198-217) he came into conflict with that pontiff and with the majority of the Church of Rome, primarily on account of the christological opinions which for some time had been causing controversies in Rome.
For this Hippolytus gravely censured him, representing him as an incompetent man, unworthy to rule the Church of Rome and as a tool in the hands of the ambitious and intriguing deacon Callistus, whose early life is maliciously depicted (Philosophumena, IX, xi-xii).
Consequently when Callistus was elected pope (217-218) on the death of Zephyrinus, Hippolytus immediately left the communion of the Roman Church and had himself elected antipope by his small band of followers.
