classically educated...built a Basilica and convent in Verona ( wonder if it's still there?)  Encouraged charity...spoke against Arianism ( never heard of that...

  1. the main heresy denying the divinity of Christ, originating with the Alexandrian priest Arius (c. 250–c. 336). Arianism maintained that the son of God was created by the Father and was therefore neither coeternal nor consubstantial with the Father.

wrote about the virgin birth of Jesus. Patron Saint of fisherman and anglers.

"and forbade funeral masses being accompanied by attendees' loud groans and wailing."
