Background on Pope Anterus

In his own words on 2 Timothy

  • 2 Timothy 3:5

    Now for both parties-namely, for those who endure a famine of the word of God, and for bishops who endure straits, when they are installed in other cities for the common good -no small degree of mercy is shown. And they who deny this, although they have the form of godliness, do yet deny the power thereof.

  • 2 Timothy 3:8

    Not lawful, and what is not lawful is lawful. Even as Jannes and Mambres
