Paulinus the Deacon

Paulinus the Deacon

Paulinus the Deacon [Paulinus of Milan.] was the notary of Ambrose of Milan, and his biographer. His work is the only life of Ambrose based on a contemporary account, and was written at the request of Augustine of Hippo [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3664/is_199804/ai_n8798889 Ambrose of Milan: Keeper of the boundaries | Theology Today | Find Articles at BNET.com ] ] ; it is dated to 422 [Craig Alan Satterlee, "Ambrose of Milan's Method of Mystagogical Preaching" (2002), p. 33.] .

Against the Pelagians

In Carthage in 411 he had opposed Caelestius, a Pelagian [Serge Lancel, "Saint Augustine" (2002), p. 327.] . The formal proceedings were described by Augustine in "On Original Sin". Paulinus set up six theses defining Pelagian views as heresy; Caelestius gave up on becoming a presbyter in Carthage, moving to Ephesus [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11604a.htm CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pelagius and Pelagianism ] ] .

Paulinus was summoned to Rome in 417, to justify himself [M. Lamberigts, "The Condemnation of the Pelagians", p. 365, in Theo L. Hettema, Arie van der Kooij (editors), "Religious Polemics in Context" (2004).] . With local backing, he declined to appear before Pope Zosimus; in 418 the Pope took into account the measure of support for the anti-Pelagian position, and condemned both Caelestus and Pelagius. [Philippe Levillain, "The Papacy: An Encyclopedia" (2002), p. 1641.] .
