Legacy
Pope Pius IX noted in Quartus Supra that Liberius was falsely accused by the Arians and he had refused to condemn St Athanasius. In his encyclical Principi Apostolorum Petro, Pope Benedict XV noted that Pope Liberius went fearlessly into exile in defence of the orthodox faith.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, he is a saint whose feast is celebrated on August 27.
The Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome is sometimes referred to as the Liberian Basilica.
