St. Chromatius, bishop of Aquileia, who lived at the turn of the IV and V cen­tury, as a zealous pastor, led by concern for the salvation of his faithful, undertook in his predicatory teaching an explanation of the queations of faith. Without in­dications of any polemics – as one might expect – with the Arianism which was spread through the Gothic invaders, he did it, not ignoring however the important doctrinal aspect which constitutes the basis of the act of faith. He teaches, that to believe means to walk incessantly the Christ’s way of righteousness, know thanks to the proclaimed Gospel. Receiving the holy baptism is the beginning of that way. In a simple, but interesting at the same time, preaching being not infre­quently the fruit of an allegorical, often amazing interpretation of the Bible events and signs know to his listeners, the bishop of Aquileia furthermore encourages to fidelity to the chosen way of righteousness, making his listeners aware that walk­ing this way means not only walking a way that is free from wrongdoing, which brings concrete fruits, of which the most valuable is the eternal salvation. Being aware of many menaces in spiritual life, he also warns in his sermons against the danger of losing the faith.

Biskup Chromacjusz (sprawujący urząd w latach 388-407), którego stolicą biskupią była Akwileja – wielonarodowy ośrodek handlu na północnym krańcu Morza Adriatyckiego, należał do najwybitniejszych hierarchów tego okresu. Znał tak wybitne postacie jak Ambroży, Hieronim, Rufin, Jan Chryzostom i wielu in­nych. Zanim sam został biskupem, był sekretarzem biskupa Waleriana, a na sy­nodzie w Akwilei (381), któremu przewodniczył Ambroży z Mediolanu, wystę­pował przeciw arianom. Znaczenie i waga tego zgromadzenia biskupów, może go stawiać niemal w rzędzie ekumenicznych. Jak pokazują niektóre kazania Chro­macjusza, odnalezione w XX wieku, był przeciwny nie tylko wobec doktryny arian, ale również wobec nauczania Fotyna – biskupa Sirmium. Chromacjusz był gorliwym obrońcą ortodoksji, i praktycznie udało mu się wykorzenić wszystkie herezje w swej diecezji. Postrzegany jest zwykle jako antyariański teolog. Po so­borze w Konstantynopolu (381) herezja ariańska zdawała się znacznie zawężać swe kręgi, jednak w jednym ze swoich traktatów Chromacjusz stwierdza: „Cuius (sc. Arii) discipuli hodieque oues Dei fallere ac decipere conantur per aliquan­tas ecclesias, sed iamdudum, magistro perfidiae prodito, discipuli latere non pos­sunt”; zdanie to wyraźnie wskazuje, że zwolenników Ariusza można było jeszcze znaleźć (świadczy o tym przysłówek „hodie”, czyli dzisiaj) w regionie wokół Akwilei, pamiętać też trzeba o obecności zwolenników Fotyna z Sirmium. Pierwsza część artykułu przedstawia ogólną sytuację religijną w Akwilei w momencie, gdy miejscowym biskupem był Chromacjusz; następnie przepro­wadzona została dogłębna analiza kilku fragmentów dzieł (kazań i traktatów) Biskupa Akwilei, by wykazać, że istnienie herezji spotkało się z oddźwiękiem w jego pismach, oraz zidentyfikować jego teologiczne argumenty przeciwko he­retyckim doktrynom. Wśród różnych zaleceń Chromacjusza, znajduje się przede wszystkim „niezwyciężona wiara” (invicta fide), która doprowadziła do pokona­nia (stłumienia) herezji.

Bishop Chromatius (in office from 388 to 407), whose episcopal see was a cosmopolitan trade-center at the north end of the Adriatic Sea with the name of Aquileia, was one of the most prominent bishops in the period. He is acquaint­ed with notable figures such as Ambrosius, Hieronymus, Rufinus, and Ioannes Chrysostomus and forth. Before being created a bishop, he was the secretary of bi­shop Valerianus and in the occasion of Council of Aquileia in 381, he had spoken against Arians. This Council was presided by Ambrosius and with its scale it could almost be considered as an ecumenical one. As shown in some of the Chromatius’ sermons, which are unearthed in the 20th century, he opposed not only to the ideas of Arians but also to the teaching of Fotinus, bishop of Sirmium. Chromatius was a very zealous fighter and he practically succeeded to uproot all heretical ideas in his diocese. The academia usually sees him as an anti-Arian theologian. After the Council of Constantinople (381), the Arian heresy seemed to be abated, but Chromatius said in one of his Tractatus, “Cuius (sc. Arii) discipuli hodieque oues Dei fallere ac decipere conantur per aliquantas ecclesias, sed iamdudum, magistro perfidiae prodito, discipuli latere non possunt”; it is evident that, the followers of Arius could still be found (with the mentioning of “hodie”, i.e. today) in the area of Aquileia, meanwhile one must not neglect the presence of the followers of Fotinus of Sirmium. The first part of my conference paper would be a general presentation of the religious situation in Aquileia at the time where Chromatius served as the local bishop; thus I will proceed with an in-depth reading on several passages of the Aquilerian bishop’s sermons (Sermones and Tractatus), in order to show the impact of the those heresies on his works and to identity his theological arguments against them. Among those teachings, there is the “unconquerable faith (invicta fide)”, which led to the surmounting (suppression) of heresies.
