Pope Damasus I (366-384) is credited with being the first bishop of Rome to claim specific primacy over the Church as a whole. The Council of Nicaea in 325 had only recognised the bishop of Rome as having authority in his area, although the boundaries of that area were not defined. Damasus also commissioned his secretary, Jerome, to translate the Vulgate Bible. Militating against his sainthood is his complicity in two massacres to secure for himself the papacy, as well as a further allegation of murder.

We know virtually nothing about Pope Saint Victor I. In fact, his name was removed from the Calendar of Saints and his cult suppressed in 1969 because so little was know about him. Some sources say he was a martyr but even that is uncertain.
Pope St. Leo the Great is a "pre-congregational" saint. In other words, he would have been proclaimed a saint by popular acclamation and devotion long before there was an established process within the church for canonization.
Saint Alexius of Rome died as a martyr in the early 5th century and was declared a saint soon afterwards by the Catholic community. He was not canonized as the official process of canonization was not fully instituted until the 12th century. Today, only the pope can declare a saint after a lengthy investigation by the Sacred Congregation for the causes of saints.
