He was probably consecrated on June 8, 536.\n\nHe opposed the restoration of the monophysite heretic, former patriarch of Constantinople Anthimus, whom Agapetus had deposed, and thus brought upon himself the hatred of Empress Theodora. Theodora then sought to have Vigilius made pope. During Silverius' papacy, it was alleged that he had purchased his elevation to the see of St. Peter from King Theodahad.\n\nOn December 9, 536, the Byzantine general Belisarius entered Rome, with the approval of Pope Silverius. Theodahad's successor, Witiges, gathered together an army and besieged Rome for several months, subjecting the city to privation and starvation. It was alleged that Pope Silverius wrote to Witiges offering to betray the city.\n\nHe was deposed accordingly by Belisarius in March 537 on a charge of treasonable correspondence with the Goths, and degraded to the rank of a simple monk. He found his way to Constantinople, and Justinian I, who entertained his complaint, sent him back to Rome, but Vigilius was eventually able to banish his rival to the prison island Pandataria (Ventotene), where the rest of his life was spent in obscurity. The date of his death is unknown.\n\nAccording to the Liber Pontificalis, Pope St. Silverius was exiled not to Ventotene, but rather to Palmarola, where he died a couple of months later, on June 20, 537.\n\nPope Silverius was later beatified and made into a saint and is now the patron saint of the island of Ponza, Italy.","brand":"Picturesongold","offers":[{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866939568281,"sku":"70774-132298-PSS","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866939535513,"sku":"70774-132299-PSS","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866939502745,"sku":"70774-132300-PSS","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866939666585,"sku":"70774-132298","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866939633817,"sku":"70774-132299","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866939601049,"sku":"70774-132300","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k Yellow Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866939699353,"sku":"70774-193414","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k Yellow Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866939732121,"sku":"70774-193415","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k Yellow Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866939764889,"sku":"70774-193416","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866939863193,"sku":"70774-195119","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866939797657,"sku":"70774-195120","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866939830425,"sku":"70774-195121","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866939928729,"sku":"70774-132301","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866939961497,"sku":"70774-132303","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866939895961,"sku":"70774-132305","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866940027033,"sku":"70774-132302","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866940059801,"sku":"70774-132304","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866939994265,"sku":"70774-132306","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/3510\/4921\/files\/gp_pso7i_70774_1235070079.jpg?v=1786553054","url":"https:\/\/aliviadanny.com\/products\/pope-saint-silverius-medal-p70774","provider":"Alivia \u0026 Danny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
