DECREE
CONFERRING TITLE “DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH” TO SAINT IRENAEUS |
VATICAN CITY - Today, in response to the proposal presented
yesterday by
His Eminence Cardinal Marcello Semeraro,
Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, on conferring
the title of Doctor of the Universal Church on Saint Irenaeus, the Holy Father
Pope Francis issued the following decree:
Saint Irenaeus of Lyon, who came from the East, exercised his
episcopal ministry in the West: he was a spiritual and
theological bridge between Eastern and Western Christians. His
name, Irenaeus, expresses that peace which comes from the Lord
and which reconciles, restoring unity. For these reasons, having
obtained the opinion of the Congregation for the Causes of
Saints, with my Apostolic Authority I
DECLARE
him a Doctor of the Church with the title of Doctor unitatis.
May the teaching of this great Master increasingly encourage the
journey of all the Lordʼs disciples towards full communion.
From the Vatican, 21 January 2022
