MorphRC Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 [b] Clement I [/b] Clement I, St or Clement of Rome (died c. 101), pope (c. 92-c. 101), first of the ecclesiastical writers called Apostolic Fathers. According to the 2nd-century theologian Irenaeus, Clement was the third bishop of Rome and was personally acquainted with both St Peter and St Paul. Although few details of his life are known, the high esteem in which Clement was held is evident from his Epistle to the Corinthians (c. 96), which was widely considered a canonical book of the Bible until the 4th century. One of the most important documents of apostolic times, the letter is the earliest piece of Christian literature outside the New Testament for which the name, position, and date of the author are historically attested. The outbreak of disputes within the Church of Corinth, where certain presbyters (elders) had been deposed, impelled the author to intervene. The letter is a valuable source of information about the life, doctrine, and organization of the early Christian Church. Clement's feast day is November 23.
