The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church

S. SabinaThe title of S. Sabina, on the Aventine Mount, was erected ca. 423 by Pope St. Celestine I (422-432), or, most probably, it was confirmed by him because it must have been in existence for a long time since the death of St. Sabine occurred in 119. The title Sabinae was listed in the Roman Synod of March 1, 499. After 595, it was called Santa or Beata Sabina. According to the catalog of Pietro Mallio, composed during the pontificate of Alexander III (1159-1181), this title was attached to the basilica of S. Paolo fuori le mura and its priests were to celebrate mass there in turn. The title of S. Sabina should not be confused with the suburbicarian see of Sabina.

Ss. Silvestro e Martino ai MontiThe title of S. Silvestro, also called Equitii, was erected ca. 314 by Pope St. Silvester I (314-335) in the land of one of his priests called Equitius, in Carine, near the Esquilino. It later became the title of Ss. Martino e Silvestro and, in modern times, Ss. Silvestro e Martino ai Monti.

(1) Cristofori indicates that he was the occupant of this title since 494 but Annuaire Pontifical Catholique says that he was created cardinal ca. 515.
(2) Cristofori lists Francesco Gassard (or Cassardus) as dubbio occupant of this title in 1237. Hierarchia Catholica indicates that Chacón-Oldoini had listed him among the cardinals created by Pope Gregory IX (1227-1241) but that he should not be included among the cardinals because there is no document subscribed by him.
(3) Cristofori lists Cardinal Bertrand Augier de la Tour as occupant of this title from 1320 to 1323. According to Hierarchia Catholica he was cardinal priest of S. Vitale during those same years.
(4) Cristofori lists Cardinal Stefano de la Garde (Girard Domar (or de Daumario, or de Guardia), O.P. ) as occupant of this title (incerto) from 1343?-1348? but Hierarchia Catholica indicates that he was cardinal priest of S. Sabina from 1342 to 1343, year in which he died.
(5) Cristofori lists Cardinal Pasteur de Sarrats, O.F.M., as occupant of this title from 1350 to 1356 but Hierarchia Catholica indicates that he was cardinal priest of Ss. Marcellino e Pietro during those same years.
(6) Cristofori lists Cardinal Pierre de la Foret (or Forest, or Laforest), O.S.B., as occupant of this title from 1356 to 1362. Hierarchia Catholica indicates that he was cardinal priest of Ss. XII Apostoli from 1356 to 1361, year in which he died.
(7) Cristofori lists Leonardo Rossi di Giffonio, pseudocardinal of Clement VII, as occupant of this title from 1382 to 1405. Hierarchia Catholica indicates that he was assigned to the title of S. Sisto from 1378 to 1407.
(8) Cristofori lists this pseudocardinal as occupant of the title from 1383 to 1386 and Pierre de Cros, O.S.B., also pseudocardinal of Clement VII, from 1385 to 1388 but Hierarchia Catholica indicates that he was assigned to the title of Ss. Nereo ed Achilleo from 1383 to 1388 and that the true Cardinal Pierre du Cross occupied the title of Ss. Silvestro e Martino from 1350 to 1361.

S. SistoThe title Crescentianae was listed in the Roman Synod of March 1, 499. It probably corresponded to the Basilica Crescentiana, which the Liber Pontificalis says was founded by Pope St. Anastasius I (399-401). Both Duchesne and Kirsch are in agreement in assigning this title to S. Sisto. Cristofori says that the title Tigride, suppressed by Pope S. Gregory I the Great (590-604) ca. 600, was replaced by the title of S. Sisto. According to the catalog of Pietro Mallio, composed during the pontificate of Alexander III (1159-1181), this title was attached to the Basilica of S. Paolo fuori le mura and its priests were to celebrate mass there in turn.

S. Stefano al Monte CelioThis title is listed in the Roman Synod of March 1, 494 and every list thereafter. Pope St. Gregory I the Great (590-604) suppressed the title of S. Matteo in Merulana and substituted it with the already existing title of S. Stefano al Monte Celio but that substitution seems not to have taken place. It has been known with the following names: S. Stefano in Girimonte; S. Stefano Rotondo, because the shape of its church; S. Stefano in Querquetulano, because of its proximity to a forest of oaks; S. Stefano in capite Africæ, because of its vicinity to an old street called Caput Africæ, ancient pagan temple. According to the catalog of Pietro Mallio, composed during the pontificate of Alexander III (1159-1181), this title was attached to the Basilica of S. Lorenzo fuori le mura and its priests were to celebrate mass there in turn.

(1) Cristofori lists Cardinal Guasino? (Guarino?) as occupant of this title in 1140? who undoubtedly is the same person.
(2) Cristofori lists Uberto de Terzago as occupant of this title in 1207 but Hierarchia Catholica indicates that although Chacón-Oldoini mentioned him among the cardinals created by Pope Innocent III (1198-1216), since he did not subscribe any documents as cardinal, it is doubtful that he was ever promoted.
(3) Cristofori lists Cardinal Pierre Arnaud, O.S.B., as occupant of this title from 1405 to 1406 but Hierarchia Catholica indicates that he was cardinal priest of S. Prisca during those same years.
(4) Cristofori lists Jean Carrier, pseudocardinal of Benedict XIII, as occupant of this title from 1408 to 1429. According to Hierarchia Catholica, he was not promoted until May 22, 1423.

Ss. Vitale, Valeria, Gervasio e ProtasioThe title Vestinae was founded during the pontificate of Pope St. Innocent I (401-417) by a Roman matron named Vestina. At the Roman Synod of 595 it is noted under the name of S. Vitale. According to the catalog of Pietro Mallio, composed during the pontificate of Alexander III (1159-1181), this title was attached to the Basilica of S. Maria Maggiore and its priests were to celebrate mass there in turn. Its ancient building was in ruins and Pope Clement VIII (1592-1605) suppressed it in 1596. On December 16, 1880, Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) restored it with the name of Ss. Vitale, Gervasio e Protasio in Vestina.
