Frases de Hipólito de Roma

Hipólito de Roma foi o mais importante teólogo do século III na Igreja antiga em Roma, onde ele provavelmente nasceu.

Fócio o descreveu em sua Biblioteca como sendo um discípulo de Ireneu, que acredita-se ter sido discípulo de Policarpo e, pelo contexto da passagem, supõe-se que o próprio Hipólito assim se considerava. Porém, é duvidoso se esta afirmação de Fócio seja verdadeira.

Ele entrou em conflito com os papas de sua época e parece ter sido líder de um grupo cismático como um bispo rival de Roma. Por isto, ele é considerado como o primeiro Antipapa. Ele se opôs aos bispos de Roma que afrouxaram as regras de penitência para acomodarem um grande número de novos convertidos da religião pagã. Porém, muito provavelmente ele já estava reconciliado com a Igreja quando morreu como mártir.

Ele é a pessoa que usualmente chamamos de Santo Hipólito. Porém, iniciando no século IV, várias lendas surgiram sobre ele, identificando-o como um padre do cisma novaciano ou um soldado convertido por São Lourenço. E também é muitas vezes confundido com um mártir de mesmo nome. Wikipedia

Hippolytus of Rome

Apostolic Tradition

“And when all things were created as has been described by Moses — both heaven and earth, and the things therein — the twelve angels of the Mother were divided into four principles, and each fourth part of them is called a river — Phison, and Gehon, and Tigris, and Euphrates, as, he says, Moses states. These twelve angels being mutually connected, go about into four parts, and manage the world, holding from Edem a sort of viceregal authority over the world. But they do not always continue in the same places, but move around as if in a circular dance, changing place after place, and at set times and intervals retiring to the localities subject to themselves. And when Phison holds sway over places, famine, distress, and affliction prevail in that part of the earth, for the battalion of these angels is niggardly.”

“Type of those born under Virgo. Those born in Virgo are of the following description: fair appearance, eyes not large, fascinating, dark, compact eyebrows, cheerful, swimmers; they are, however, slight in frame, beautiful in aspect, with hair prettily adjusted, large forehead, prominent nose. The same by nature are docile, moderate, intelligent, sportive, rational, slow to speak, form ing many plans; in regard of a favour, importunate; gladly observing everything; and well-disposed pupils, they master whatever they learn; moderate, scorners, victims of unnatural lusts, companionable, of a noble soul, despisers, careless in practical matters, attending to instruction, more honourable in what concerns others than what relates to themselves; as regards friendship, useful.”

“I think that there has been clearly expounded the mind of arithmeticians, who, by means of numbers and of names, suppose that they interpret life. Now I perceive that these, enjoying leisure, and being trained in calculation, have been desirous that, through the art delivered to them from childhood, they, acquiring celebrity, should be styled prophets.”

“Since, however, reason compels us to plunge into the very depth of narrative, we conceive we should not be silent, but, expounding the tenets of the several schools with minute ness, we shall evince reserve in nothing. Now it seems expedient, even at the expense of a more protracted investigation, not to shrink from labour; for we shall leave behind us no trifling auxiliary to human life against the recurrence of error, when all are made to behold, in an obvious light, the clandestine rites of these men, and the secret orgies which, retaining under their management, they deliver to the initiated only. But none will refute these, save the Holy Spirit bequeathed unto the Church, which the Apostles having in the first instance received, have transmitted to those who have rightly believed.”
