Background |
| |
Born around 264/265. An extraordinary and deliberate false date as early as 244 is sometimes given, largely to make the logical succession of Paul as his son impossible. |
| |
Bishop of Byzantium and first Pope of Constantinople (the city being renamed during his episcopacy). |
| |
With the rise of the Serbian dynasty of Emperor Constantine and his decision to make his new capital Byzantine (later renamed Constantinople in his honor), the power of the christian church shifted firmly to the East. |
| |
When Alexander was appointed as the first Patriarch (Pope) around 313, he enjoyed unprecedented power and influence. |
| |
To cement his authority and align the various factions of the christian churches under one autocratic system, he convinced Emperor Constantine to call the First Council of Nicaea at which the Roman Bishop and his few supporters had minimal influence. |
| |
Pope Alexander displayed an obsessive hatred towards older pagan religions and was instrumental in elevating the christian religion as effectively "above the law" under edicts of Constantine. |
| |
In one of the most perverse and evil acts of history, Alexander and his bishops are responsible for the extermination by crucifixion around 335 of the last remaining priests of Zoroastrianism known as the Magi in Asia Minor and Palestine. These are the same order of priests and religion referred to as the "three wise men" in the gospels. |
| |
The death of Alexander is masked in controversy as he died not long after the death of his patron Emperor Constantine having ruled as Pope for 24 years. At the time, Emperor Constantius II was away busily hunting down and murdering members of his own family who may have contested his rights. It is recorded the sudden death of Alexander and the immediate appointment of Paul as Pope caught Constanius by surprise. |
