Paschasius (3) , deacon of Rome, called by Gregory the Great in his Dialogues , bk. iv. c. 40, "a man of great sanctity." He was a firm supporter of the antipope Laurentius to his death, and his adhesion was a great source of strength to the opponents of Symmachus (cf. Baronius, ann. 498). There is extant a work of his in two books, de Sancto Spiritu ( Patr. Lat. lxii. 9–40), which Gregory ( u.s .) calls "libri rectissimi ac luculenti." The date of his death was c. 512.
