Pope Damasus I (/ ˈ d æ m ə s ə s /; c. 305 – 11 December 384), also known as Damasus of Rome, [1] was the bishop of Rome from October 366 to his death in 384. It is claimed that he presided over the Council of Rome of 382 that determined the canon or official list of sacred scripture.
Jerome mentioned the synod twice, but only in passing. [3]The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church states: [1]. A council probably held at Rome in 382 under St. Damasus gave a complete list of the canonical books of both the Old Testament and the New Testament (also known as the 'Gelasian Decree' because it was reproduced by Gelasius in 495), which is identical with the list given at Trent.

Some of these synods include: Synod of Rome (313), attended by the bishop of Beneventum, and Reticius, bishop of Autun; Council of Rome (382), a meeting of Christian Church officials and theologians under the authority of Pope Damasus I
All that is known of Heraclius appears in an epitaph written by Pope Damasus I for Eusebius. Heraclius and Eusebius disagreed over the policy which should be taken towards the lapsi (those Christians who had lapsed in their faith during persecution). Damasus' epitaph is ambiguous as to whether Heraclius' position was that the lapsi should be ...
