Baring-Gould’s sources: Gallican Martyrology of Saussaye. Breviaries of Carcassonne and Toulouse. Authority: — The Lections in the Carcassonne Breviary, of no historical value.] S. Papulus is said to have been a priest in company with S. Satuminus, whose not altogether untrustworthy Acts we have. Papulus followed Satuminus into Gaul. On reaching Carcassonne, the magistrate Ruffinus shut them up in a tower, but they were delivered by the Most High, and went on their way to Toulouse. There their preaching met with great success. When S. Satuminus went into Spain, he confided the care of his converts in Toulouse to S. Papulus. His miracles, and success in converting people to the faith so exasperated the heathens, that they laid hold of Papulus, and after having subjected him to insult and torture, they cut off his head at Lauraguais, where in after times a church, and then a monastery, were erected. The body of S. Papulus was translated to the church of S. Satuminus at Toulouse, where it is still religiously guarded and honoured. In French he is called Saint Popoule.
