All that is known of his early life is that he was considered pious as a youth, and cared nothing for material things as an adult.
As a pope, he was immediately involved in the turmoil resulting from the heretical writings of Origen. He convened a synod to condemn the works. He fought against the heresy of Donatism.
He was a friend of Saint Augustine of Hippo, Saint Jerome, and Saint Paulinus of Nola.
