Inače, čisto da se ne misli da je to neki marginalac bez važnosti, to je
papa pod kojim je nastala vulgata, to je papa pod kojim je nastao
nicejski credo, dakle taj papa je temelj katoličke crkve. Da vidimo što
se o njemu kaže u drugim, manje šturim izvorima:

"In the Roman Catholic Church of that era, new bishops of Rome were
elected by the clergy and the people of the diocese in the presence of
the other bishops from the surrounding province, which was the manner
customarily used in other dioceses. While this method worked well in a
small community of Christians unified by persecution, as the newly
privileged Roman congregation grew in size and political power, the
acclamation of a new bishop was fraught with division. Rival claimants,
as well as a certain class hostility between patrician and plebeian
candidates, unsettled some episcopal elections. At the same time, fourth
century emperors now expected to confirm each new pope.
On the death of Liberius on September 24, 366, one faction supported
Ursinus who had served as deacon to Liberius, while the other
faction—previously loyal to the Felix II—supported Damasus. The upper
class generally supported the election of Damasus, while the deacons and
laity supported Ursinus. The two rival popes were thus elected
simultaneously, in separate locations, in an atmosphere of rioting.
This dissension climaxed with a riot which led to a three-day massacre
and to the rare imperial intervention to uphold public order. Damasus
prevailed, but only with the support of the Roman prefect. Once he was
securely consecrated bishop of Rome, his men attacked Ursinus and his
remaining supporters who were seeking refuge in the Liberian Basilica,
resulting in a massacre of 137 supporters of Ursinus. Damasus was also
accused of murder before a later prefect, but his influential friends
secured the personal intervention of the emperor to rescue him from this
humiliation. The reputations of both Damasus and the Roman church in
general suffered greatly due to these two unseemly incidents. Armed
guards were now employed to protect the new representative of the Prince
of Peace. Only 12 years later, at a synod in 378, was Ursinus condemned
and Damasus exonerated and declared the true pope."

To je lik koji je postavio temelje modernoj katoličkoj crkvi, i to se
*tako* vidi.
