Agnellus

Agnellus was bishop of Ravenna in Italy, born around the year 483 and dead on 30 July 569, according to the source. He was the author of the work De ratione fidei ad Arminium and an opponent of Arianism. He is honoured as a saint in the Catholic Church.

He chose the clerical state after the death of his wife. In the year 553 he became bishop of Ravenna. As bishop he was distinguished above all by recovering churches that were in Arian hands. He defended the teaching of the Church on the Holy Trinity. In his work he set out that teaching and warned against Arianism. A fragment of a letter of his to Pope Pelagius I has also survived.
