Pope Saint Caius I Short life History

Pope Saint Caius I is also known as
• Caius the Dalmatian
• Cayo, Gaius

Some unreliable early documents indicate he was from Spalato in Dalmatia, may have been a relative of Emperor Diocletian, and the uncle of Saint Susanna. However, nothing reliable is known of his early life.

Pope in a time of peace before the last great persecution of Rome, and little concerning his papacy has survived. Decreed that before a man could be bishop, he must first be porter, reader, exorcist, acolyte, sub-deacon, deacon, and priest. Divided the districts of Rome among deacons.

Originally listed as a martyr based on the tales of his suffering during the Diocletian persecutions, these did not begin until years after his death, and there is no evidence of his suffering or martyrdom. This lack of verifiable information led to his name being dropped from the Martyrology.

Today’s Catholic Quote:

Pope Saint Caius I was born in Roman Dalmatia but date of birth is unknown. He died on 22 April 296 of natural causes. His body was buried in the chamber next to the papal crypt in the Catacombs of Saint Callistus on the Appian Way.
