Germanus of Capua

Germanus (died 541) was the bishop of Capua from 519 or shortly before until his death. He played a major role in bringing to an end the Acacian schism, the first major schism that divided the Christian church between east and west.

After his death, he was venerated as a saint. His feast day is October 30 in the Roman Martyrology.
