Biography
Saint Athanasius of Naples, child of the Duke of Naples, Italy. Bishop of Naples at age 18. He reestablished the congregation of St. Januarius that had been destroyed by Saracens, established a hospice, and founded an administration for the payment of hostage Christians. Since he battled simony, he was detained by his corrupt nephew Sergius, Duke of Naples; the ministry and laypeople of Naples constrained his discharge, however Athanasius was sent into lasting outcast in Veroli, Italy. Questioner of the faith.
