There is no preserved information about his life. From chapter IX of his "Φιλοσοφούμενα", we learn only that during Roman bishop Zephyrinus (198 -217), St. Hippolytus held a position in the Roman Church, and it would have been most likely a presbyter. This position and ministry became the occasion and reason for the schism in the Roman Church, in which St. Hippolytus would play a major role. His ministry turned into a struggle with the heretical teachings of Noetum and Sabellius, and against the bishops of Rome. He proved to be an exceptional theologian, educated, and a unique church writer. In 354, on the basis of the Liber Pontificalis, he was officially recognized as a saint and his name was inscribed in the official Roman martyrology. In the Orthodox Church the memory of St. Holy Martyr Hippolytus, Bishop of Rome (+ 235 г.), is celebrated on January 30, and in the Western Roman Church on August 13.
