CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Callistus I (1375 words) |
 | ix) Callistus was the slave of Carpophorus, a Christian of the household of Caesar. |
| Hippolytus himself shows that it was as a Christian that Callistus was sent to the mines, and therefore as a confessor, and that it was as a Christian that he was released. |
| The orthodoxy of Callistus is challenged by both Hippolytus and Tertullian on the ground that in a famous edict he granted Communion after due penance to those who had committed adultery and fornication. |
| CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Callistus III (1509 words) |
| As pope he was chiefly concerned with the organization of Christian Europe against the invasion of the Turks. |
| The pope endeavoured to make peace between Frederick III and Ladislaus of Hungary, but during the negotiations Ladislaus died (1457), after a reign of seven years, and his death was the occasion of renewed disputes between the three great representatives of the House of Hapsburg, Frederick III, Albrecht VI, and Sigismund of Tyrol. |
| In France, the Dauphin was in favour of the proposals of Callistus, but the king refused to join in the enterprise, and the clergy were so discontented with the levy of the crusading tax that in many provinces they refused to pay, and appealed to a general council. |
