He is one of Four original Doctors of the Roman Church- none were medical men, Doctor here used in the achaic sense of (Teacher) for example the word Indoctrinate. St. Jerome was a biblical scholar of some note and this is his prime claim to fame. He is identified with both Librarians ( of whom he is their patron saint) and also the Lion ( the animal of the Cat family) This may explain the statues of Lions around the New York Public Library- and others. The other members of the Four Doctors were Ambrose, Augustine, (both bishops) and Gregory the Great- who was the founder of the medeival Papacy- he being the Pope. Jerome was not a priest- he may have been a church brother.
