Untitled[edit]

this is an important article it's pope hilarious.he's an early pope who wasn;t evil, which makes him important. please incude this entry in the pope imporant category.

Other stuff[edit]

Okay...I don't think this entry is right or accurate, but maybe that's just me.

Well, the Council of Ephesus definitely wasn't held in 449... john k 04:53, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Who edited my entry without even discussing it? My high school religion teacher told me Pope Hilarius was the funniest of all popes and I stand by it!

I concur with the last guy!

I too have always taken secret pleasure in Pope Hilarius, though I hope it doesn't show in the sources and details I've added. --Wetman 07:51, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

well, now i know a ton about pope hilarious. my joke was fun while it lasted.... (especially the person who didn't change it and just wrote the first sentence on this discussion board.) i vowed not to change it back after i did the original joke, however it was funny that somebody random kept putting my joke back

Hilarious from Hilarius?[edit]

Hey guys, if "to be hilarious" doesn't come from Pope Hilarius, where does it come from then? --Shultz 06:24, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They both derive from the Latin root hilaris, meaning merry. It's a case of common ancestry, rather than direct descent. grendel|khan 06:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I guess somehow, "merry" turned into "quite funny" somewhere down the line. I thought Hilarious came from Hilarius much like pious came from Pius. --Shultz 09:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see time-traveling! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.210.163 (talk) 00:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't imagine just a person meeting this pope and going, "Hey, that's hilarious!". KnowledgeIsPowerFB (talk) 10:05, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Feast Day[edit]

There are conflicting sources on the feast day of Saint Hilarius Catholic Online says 28 Feb. The Catholic Encyclopedia from where this article was basically lifted says 17 Nov. I suspect that 17 Nov. is the old calendar and 28 Feb. is the new but I have no evidence so I put them both as options. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Commment (talk • contribs) 07:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest Pope Ever?[edit]

Somebody told me Catholic Monthly named Pope Hilarius the "Greatest Pope of all Time." His name was Joey Bananas, and I don't know if I should trust him. Can anyone confirm that Pope Hilarius either (a) won the award or (b) Joe Bananas is a verified Wikipedia source? Thank you very much! Viki Male (talk) 03:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
