Starts the bulk-content pass complementary to the pre-1955 saints pass: 11 of January's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored (2 left unsourced — their Nocturn 2/3 content is entirely octave homiletic material, no proper vita text in either track). Most SanctiM files turn out to be thin rule overrides pointing back at the same Sancti/ text; only St. Maurus (Monastic-only, no Sancti file) needed direct SanctiM sourcing, with an original translation for its missing English source.

Hilárius, in Aquitánia nóbili génere natus, doctrína et eloquéntia excélluit. Qui primum in
|
|
matrimónio quasi mónachi vitam egit: deínde propter singuláres virtútes Pictavórum epíscopus
|
|
creátur: quod munus episcopále sic gessit, ut a fidélibus summam laudem consequerétur. Quo
|
|
témpore, cum terróribus, bonórum spoliatióne, exsílio, et omni crudelitáte Constántius
|
|
imperátor Cathólicos vexáret, nisi ad Ariánas partes transírent; Hilárius tamquam
|
|
firmíssimum murum se Ariánis oppónens, illórum furórem in se concitávit. Itaque multis
|
|
petítus insídiis, tandem dolo Saturníni Arelaténsis epíscopi, de sýnodo Biterrénsi in
|
|
Phrýgiam relegátus est: ubi et mórtuum suscitávit, et libros duódecim scripsit de Trinitáte
|
|
contra Ariános.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quadriénnio post coácto concílio ad Seléuciam, Isáuriæ urbem, Hilárius adésse compúlsus est:
|
|
ac deínde Constantinópolim proféctus, ubi extrémum fídei perículum animadvértit, tribus
|
|
libéllis públice datis, audiéntiam imperatóris popóscit, ut de fide cum adversáriis coram
|
|
disputáret. Verum cum Ursácius et Valens Ariáni epíscopi, quos Hilárius scriptis
|
|
confutárat, præséntis eruditiónem pertiméscerent, Constántio persuasérunt, ut spécie
|
|
honóris eum in suum episcopátum restitúeret. Tunc Hilárium e prǽlio hæreticórum
|
|
reverténtem, ut inquit sanctus Hierónymus, Galliárum ecclésia cómplexa est: quem ad
|
|
episcopátum secútus est Martínus, qui póstea Turonénsi prǽfuit ecclésiæ; tantúmque illo
|
|
doctóre profécit, quantum ejus póstea sánctitas declarávit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Magna deínceps tranquillitáte Pictavórum ecclésiam administrávit: Galliámque univérsam
|
|
addúxit, ut Arianórum impietátem condemnáret. Multos libros scripsit mira eruditióne; quos
|
|
omnes sanctus Hierónymus ad Lætam, sine ulla erróris suspicióne legi posse testátur illis
|
|
verbis: Hilárii libros inoffénso decúrrat pede. Migrávit in cælum Idibus Januárii,
|
|
Valentiniáno et Valénte imperatóribus, anno post Christum natum trecentésimo sexagésimo
|
|
nono. Eum a multis Pátribus et concíliis insígnem Ecclésiæ Doctórem nuncupátum, atque uti
|
|
talem in áliquot diœcésibus cultum, tandem instánte sýnodo Burdigalénsi Pius nonus Póntifex
|
|
máximus, ex sacrórum Rítuum Congregatiónis consúlto, universális Ecclésiæ Doctórem
|
|
declarávit et confirmávit, ac ipsíus festo die Missam et Offícium de Doctóribus ab ómnibus
|
|
recitári jussit.

This Hilary was born of a noble family in Aquitaine, and is distinguished as a divine and
|
|
an orator. He was married in his earlier life, but even then lived the life of a monk, and
|
|
on account of his remarkable holiness, was ultimately made Bishop of Poitiers, in which
|
|
office he did his duty so as to gain the universal praise of the faithful. At that time the
|
|
Emperor Constantius was persecuting the Catholics by threats, by the plundering of their
|
|
goods, by exile, and at length, by every species of cruelty, in order to force them to
|
|
yield to the Arian heresy. Against the Arians Hilary set himself up as a brazen wall, and
|
|
turned upon himself the fierceness of their anger. They assailed him by many artifices, and
|
|
at last Saturnine, Bishop of Arles, at the Council of Beziers, procured his banishment to
|
|
Phrygia. During this exile he raised a dead man to life, and wrote a work in twelve books
|
|
on the Trinity, against the Arians.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the fourth year of his exile took place the Council of Seleucia in Isauria, at which
|
|
Hilary was obliged to be present, but afterwards withdrew to Constantinople. Here he
|
|
realised more sharply the awful nature of this crisis in the history of Christianity,
|
|
published three pamphlets in the form of letters to the Emperor, and demanded from that
|
|
Prince leave to hold a public disputation in his presence. The Arian Bishops Ursacius and
|
|
Valens, whom Hilary had already confuted in writing, were afraid to meet him in debate, and
|
|
therefore induced Constantius, under pretence of pardon, to send him back to his Bishopric.
|
|
His mother, the Church of Gaul, to use the language of Jerome, received him with open arms
|
|
on his return from the battle with the heretics. He was followed to Poitiers by Martin,
|
|
afterwards Bishop of Tours, whose after holiness was a fruit of his teaching.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Henceforth he ruled the Church of Poitiers in great peace. By his exertions the Church of
|
|
Gaul was led to denounce the Arian blasphemy. His wonderful learning is seen in his
|
|
numerous works, of which Jerome writes to Laeta that he deemeth them quite faultless. One
|
|
can follow Hilary in his books, saith he, without tripping once. He passed from earth to
|
|
heaven upon the thirteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord 369, in the reign of the
|
|
Emperors Valentinian and Valens. He had already been called an illustrious Doctor of the
|
|
Church by many Fathers and Councils, and was so styled in the Liturgy in some Dioceses,
|
|
when at length Pope Pius IX., at the prayer of the Synod of Bordeaux, and in accordance
|
|
with a resolution of the Sacred Congregation of Rites, proclaimed and confirmed the title,
|
|
and commanded that the Mass and Office of his Feast should be everywhere said as those of a
|
|
Doctor.
