Monday, April 25th, 2005 09:26 amToday is the Feast Eve of St. Marcellinus:

Several hundred angry bishops attempted to oust him for this but were condemned to death for their efforts. This incident helped plant the seed for the eventual development of the Church's doctrine of papal infallibility, meaning that the pope cannot err when defining matters of Christian faith or morals.
