Pacian

Pacian
(c. 310–c. 390)
   Devotional Writer, Bishop and Saint.
   Pacian was an early Bishop of Barcelona, Spain. He is mentioned in jerome’s De Viris Illustribus and his surviving works include three letters and a short treatise on the forgiveness of sins. He is chiefly remembered, however, for the epigram ‘Christianus mihi nomen est, Catholicus vero cognomen’ (my personal name is Christian; my surname is Catholic).
