Callistus in a sentence

Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev. Callistus Onaga, yesterday, prayed for sustained peaceful atmosphere, which pervaded the eight-year administration of the outgoing governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, in Enugu State.

Also, Callistus Okafor, another factional National Chairman of the LP, declared the Usman-led caretaker committee illegal.

Managing Director of PR Redline, Lekan Ishola, and the Chief Operating Officer of XLR8, Callistus Okoruwa, have been inducted as Fellows of the Institute of Management Consultants (IMC).

Callistus III was acknowledged by all as religious and austere, though severely criticized for his largesse to his family.

Callistus left Reims for Mousson, but upon learning of the warlike stance of Henry, quickly retreated back to Reims.

Callistus obtained the right to name bishops throughout Germany, but still did not have this power in much of Burgundy and Italy.

De Rossi also found a list of martyrs and confessors who were buried at St. Callistus', which contained Urban's name.

De Rossi therefore concluded that the Urban buried in the Coemetarium Praetextati was another bishop and Pope Urban was located in Catacomb of St. Callistus.

For the most part, Pope Callistus II summoned the council to ratify the various meetings and concords which had been occurring in and around Rome for several years.

Having become the established power in Italy, Callistus now returned the conflict with Henry V over the issue of lay investiture.

Henry was forced by circumstances to seek a peace with Callistus.

History leading to the Council The First Lateran Council was called by Pope Callistus II whose reign began February 1, 1119.

It was probably only because they could not agree on an Italian successor to Nicholas V that the elderly Callistus had been elected; one who, in all probability, would not live long.

Letters Compared to the more than 500 letters known to Nicephorus Callistus in the fourteenth century, only about half that number had survived to the twentieth century.

On June 8, 1119, Callistus held a synod at Toulouse to proclaim the disciplinary reforms he had worked to attain in the French Church.

On the fourth day after the death of Gelasius II, February I, 1119, owing mainly to the exertions of Cardinal Cuno, Guido was elected pope and assumed the title of Callistus II.

While at Reims, Callistus tried to effect a settlement with Henry I of England and his brother Robert.

While many historians accept this opinion, doubt remains since Pope Sixtus III 's list of saints buried in St. Callistus' Catacomb does not include Urban in the succession of Popes but rather in a list of foreign bishops.
