Hi Paul,

I may be wrong (and please someone correct me if I am), but I think the saint you may be thinking of is St. Athanasius, who was called 'God's Hammer' for his unyielding beliefs against Arius at a time when most of the Christian world was succumbing to this heresy. This gave rise to the expression "Athanasius contra mundum" or "Athanasius against the world".
