Pope Saint Eusebius was most likely a Layman
De Montor, Lives of the Popes, volume 1, page 66: Eusebius, of Cassano, in Calabria, said to be the son of a physician, and originally a physician himself, was created pontiff in 310. Note this would make him a layman or irregular, for Canon 985 states: The following are irregular from crime: Clerics who practice the forbidden profession of medicine or surgery, if thereby the death of any person was caused.
