St. Nemesius was an Egyptian Christian. During the persecutions of Christians under Emperor Decius, he was arrested in Alexandria. Found guilty of his Christian faith, Nemesius was scourged and then burned to death (died ca. 250 A.D.).
St. Anastasius I was elected pope on November 27, 399 A.D. It was his pontificate that condemned Origen. He also urged the African bishops to oppose Donatism - one of the early Christian heresies (died ca. 404 A.D.).
Blessed Urban V had a very good education before he succeeded Innocent VI as pope. Urban V was able to return the papacy to Rome after it had been in Avignon, France for a half century. But after the papacy was restored to Rome, unrest began in Italy, and war broke out between England and France. Urban V thus decided to return the papacy to Avignon (died ca. 1370 A.D.).
