Fugatius and Damian (RM)
(also known as Phaganu, Fagan, or Ffager and Diruvianus, Deruvian, Dyfan)
2nd century. Fugatius and Damian are the missionaries allegedly sent by Pope Saint Eleutherius to Britain (Benedictines).

Eleutherius, Pope M (RM)
Born in Nicopolis, Epirus, Greece; died in Rome, May 24, c. 189. Although Eleutherius, son of Habundius, was Greek, he became a deacon in Rome and was elected pope about 174 to succeed Saint Soter. He is known only for his decree that any food fit for humans was suitable for Christians-- probably issued against the rigorism of the Gnostics and the Montanists. The story of his sending missionaries to Britain is abandoned by most modern scholars (Benedictines, Delaney).

Answer 4

Fagin was the fictitious criminal in Dickens Novel ' Oliver'. St Ffagan (Phaganus) was one of the papal missionaries of Pope Eleutherius, a real pope. Three churches dedicated to the three saints of St Ffagan, St Dyfan (at Mertyr Dyfan) and St Medwinus (physician and priest) were sent in the second century, landing at Caerleon. In addition, David Knight's recent book 'King Lucius' turns the scepticism of the existence of these saints on its head, due to anti Catholic prejudice over the years. Unlikely that saints mentioned in the Martyrology of the Vatican and revered from the second century , prayed for in churches etc did not exist.

A second century missionary sent by Pope Saint Eleutherius to Britain.
