Saint of the day: St Callistus I, an early Christian pope, had a chequered history as a slave, brawler, convict and embezzler. This gave him a great insight into forgiveness that not all the church shared. His tolerant attitude towards murderers, adulterers and fornicator eventually resulted in riots and him being thrown to his death down a well.
