Dates[edit]

The very first paragraph certainly needs attention.

Saint Apollinare (also known as Apollinaris) is a Syrian Roman Catholic saint. He is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as a disciple of Saint Peter the Apostle, but more probably lived in the 2nd-3rd centuries.

Are we claiming that he was mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as a miraculously prophetic act? Or what? —Ian Spackman 20:00, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

Apollinare → Apollinaris of Ravenna — The present name is not the English form (not easy to see from the history who decided on it or why), whereas the new name one is. The new name also acts as a dab from the other Saint Apollinaris and accords with the conventions on saints' names. I would have moved it myself but there is a redirect in the way.
