I think this one needs a clue.  Grin

He was a saint and bishop, a disciple of St Polycarp who in turn was a disciple of St John the evangelist.

Well now you're giving it away!  Cheesy You mean it was him???  Roll Eyes

The Lord certainly tries to pick the most unlikely of people.

Haha... If you really know who this is Shin can you name his most well known book?
I don't doubt that you have the right man but this can be a follow on question for a big bonus.  big grin

Back to St. Irenaus, how amazing that a man who fled from the Lord, became a Bishop and saint of the church!!  Kind of like St. Peter denying Jesus.
