St. Martin I
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake.
— Matt 5:10
A pope who refused to subordinate the Church's teaching to the will of the Byzantine emperor. He was abducted to Constantinople, humiliated and exiled to Crimea, where he died of hunger. Truth is not for sale, even at the price of comfort.
