Who
Pope from 440 to 461, the first pope called "the Great" and a Doctor of the Church, who met Attila outside Rome in 452. His Tome to Flavian (449) was acclaimed at Chalcedon as the faith of Peter: one Christ in two natures, each keeping its properties. In the sermons for Christmas and the Annunciation he insists that the Virgin conceived, gave birth and remained a virgin, and that the flesh of Christ is truly hers.
