Rufinus of Capua

Saint Rufinus was Bishop of Capua from the year 410 until his death on 25 August 423. He was born in Palestine. He is commemorated on 25 August.

Ordained a priest, at first he denied the transmission of original sin. Later he was brought to the truth by Saints Jerome and Pammachius, who had written many books on the faith. He was made bishop in 410, succeeding Saint Pamphilus, and remained at the head of the diocese until the end of his life.

He was buried at Capua, in the basilica of the Holy Apostles, and is known for miracles worked after his death. Saint Symmachus succeeded him on the see.
