Hosius of Córdoba: The Forgotten Hero of Nicaea

HOW A SAINT WAS SLUNDERED. HOSIUS: THE OLD MAN OF NICAEA & THE ARIANS’ TARGET. HOSIUS BETRAYED. WHO FAILED HOSIUS?
The Tragedy of Hosius of Córdoba, author of the Nicean Creed. Spanish historian Marcelino Menendez Pelayo (1875) case for Hosius: Why History (and the Church) Failed one of its Most Faithful Bishop.

Hosius (Osio) of Córdoba is remembered as the architect of the Nicene Creed, adviser to Constantine, and one of the great Confessors of the early Church. And yet—according to Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo—no Spanish bishop of antiquity has suffered a greater injustice.
This video explores Pelayo’s passionate defense of Hosius: a man who was tortured under Maximian, guided the Council of Nicaea, and remained steadfast in doctrine for nearly a century. But in extreme old age, he was coerced into signing an Arianizing formula—an act his enemies weaponized to stain his reputation.
Pelayo argues that the real scandal is not Hosius’ moment of weaknes if, indeed, it did occur voluntarily (he had just been tortured by the Arians at age 100) but the Church’s failure to fully vindicate a Confessor of the Faith who had already given everything.
This is a story about slander, moral courage, and the fragility of reputation—one that still resonates today.

I read and interpret what deserves not to be forgotten. If that resonates—join in.
Some of what I share In this channel "Interpreting Tradition", are reflections on Literature, Politics, History, Philosophy. Sometimes I read old texts out loud, and sometimes I just speak into the camera. But behind every video is the same impulse: to preserve something. To interpret what’s been handed down — carefully, honestly, and with a sense of reverence.
Thanks for being here.
