Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Pope Liberius (310 – 24 September 366) was the bishop of Rome from 17 May 352 until his death.[7] According to the Catalogus Liberianus, he was consecrated on 22 May as the successor to Julius I. He is not mentioned as a saint in the Roman Martyrology. That makes him the earliest pontiff not to be venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church and, along with Anastasius II, one of only two popes to be omitted from Catholic sainthood in the first 500 years of church history.
