It was the 58th Bishop of Rome and Pope of the Catholic Church from 536 to 11 March 537, when he was deposed. In order to have a pope under its control, the Empress Theodora had built to the Pope Silverio damage a charge of plotting in which reason he was arrested and taken to the East in Patara in Lycia, where he was to remain in perpetual exile.
