A question for Catholics?

Question

If Peter was the first Pope , Who was the second pope and in what year did he sit as Pope? please be specific.

Answer 1

St. Linus from 67 to 76

Answer 2

St. Linus 67-76 ad

St.  Cletus  76-88 ad

St.  Clement I  88-97 ad

I don't think there are any surviving documents from Linus or Cletus, but I'm pretty sure there are some from Clement I.

Answer 3

Linus was next; 67-76.  Then Anacletus; 76-88. Then Clement, who was mentioned in the NT. 88-97 and on and on to Benedict XVI number 266 after Peter. There is a good book out there called the chronicles of the Popes. It gives a brief history of each of the holy fathers down thru the ages.

Edit- d**n! That wolf is GOOD!

Answer 6

Linus, Saint Reigned c.67-76

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.h...

Answer 7

That would be Linus who was pope from approx 65 to 75.  We don't have exact dates though.

And I believe that this is the same Linus talked about in the later books of the NT.

Answer 8

One reason there were so many successive popes in the first few centuries of Christianity is that the first 50 of them were killed. Martyred.

"To be steeped in history is to cease to be a Protestant".

Cardinal Newman

Answer 9

"POPE" is technically not a title that can be applied to Peter.

In his epistle to the Galatians, Paul states that the early church was overseen by three: James, Cephas (Peter), and John.

Answer 10

Saint Linus

Second Epistle Of Saint Paul To Timothy

Chapter 4

21 Make haste to come before winter Eubulus and Pudens, and Linus and Claudia, and all the brethren, salute thee. 22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
