Life and reignLittle is known about the life of Christopher; the lack of reliable, consistent sources makes it difficult to establish a concise biography. It is believed that he was a Roman, and that his father's name was Leo. He was cardinal-priest of the title of St. Damasus when he became pope. His predecessor, Leo V, was deposed and imprisoned, most likely around October 903. As it is believed that Leo died in prison, Christopher may be regarded as pope after his death. However, the account of Auxilius of Naples says that Sergius III murdered both Leo V and Christopher. An eleventh-century Greek documentMon. Græca ad Photium pertinent., p. 160, ed. Joseph Hergenröther, Ratisbon, 1869. says that Christopher was the first pope to state that the Holy Ghost proceeded "from the Father and from the Son". However, the document claims that Christopher made this profession to Sergius, Patriarch of Constantinople. At that time, however, Nicholas Mystikos was Patriarch of Constantinople, making the account historically suspect. (Sergius I was Patriarch in 610â638, and Sergius II in 1001â1019.)File:Christophorus. Cristoforo.jpg|thumb|Imaginary portrait by Giovanni Battista de'CavalieriGiovanni Battista de'CavalieriDethroningChristopher was driven from the antipapacy by Pope Sergius III (904â911). Hermannus Contractus contends that Christopher was compelled to end his days living as a monk.Chronicle of Hermannus Contractus, ad an. 904. However, the historian Eugenius Vulgarius says he was strangled in prison.Ernst Dümmler, Auxilius und Vulgarius (Leipzig, 1866), 160, 135.LegitimacySome{{who|date=January 2024}} hold that Christopher was a legitimate pope, regardless of the illegitimate means by which he appears to have acquired the title. His name is included in all major catalogues of the popes through the early twentieth century.Liber Pontificalis, II, ed. Duchesne; Watterich, Pontificum Romanorum Vitae, I; and Origines de l'Ãglise romaine, I, par les membres de la communauté de Solesmes, Paris, 1836. His portrait figures among the other likenesses of the popes in the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome, and among the frescoes of tenth-century popes painted in the thirteenth century on the walls of the ancient church of San Pietro a Grado, outside Pisa. He was, moreover, acknowledged as pope by his successors. For example, in confirming the privileges of the Abbey of Corbie in France, Leo IX mentioned the preceding grants of Benedict and Christopher.Philipp Jaffé, Regesta RR. Pont., I, n. 4212. This privilege is the only one of Christopher's acts that is extant.Philipp Jaffé, Regesta RR. Pont., 3532, 2d ed. However, he has not been considered a legitimate pope since the first half of the 20th century and has been erased from the Annuario pontificio{{'}}s list of popes.See alsoNotes{{Reflist}}{{Catholic|wstitle=Pope Christopher}}{{Antipopes|state=collapsed}}{{Navboxes|list={{Catholicism}}{{History of the Roman Catholic Church}}}}{{Subject bar |portal1= Biography |portal2= Christianity |portal3= Catholicism}}{{Authority control}} |
