Paulinus II of Antioch (Redirected from Paulinus, Bishop of Antioch)

Saint Jerome is ordained by Paulinus, 17th-century painting by Simão Rodrigues (Jerónimos Monastery, Lisbon)

Paulinus II was a claimant to the See of Antioch from 362 to 388. He was supported by members of the Eustathian party, and was a rival to Meletius of Antioch. The Eustathians objected to Meletius having been consecrated by Arians, and had begun to meet separately. Lucifer of Calaris ordained Paulinus as bishop, thus effecting a schism in the church.

Paulinus was "highly esteemed for piety." He was acknowledged as bishop by Jerome, whom he ordained as priest, and by Epiphanius of Salamis.

Paulinus died in 388. His followers were called "Paulinians."
