| | Pope Clement I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Clement is perhaps best known by a letter to the Church in Corinth, often called 1 Clement. | | | Liber Pontificalis believes that Clement of Rome had personally known Saint Peter, and states that he wrote two letters (the second letter, 2 Clement is no longer ascribed to Clement) and that he died in Greece in the third year of Trajan's reign, or 100. | | | Saint Clement I, the bishop of Rome also called Clement of Rome and Clemens Romanus, was either the third or fourth pope, before or after Anacletus. |

| | Clement of Rome, Bishop |
| | Clement is a little more than this, chiefly because he wrote a letter to the Corinthians, which was highly valued by the early church, and has been preserved to the present day. | | | However, a letter from Corinth to Rome a few decades later refers to "the letter we received from your bishop Clement, which we still read regularly." Other early writers are unanimous in attributing the letter to Clement. | | | A probable alternate explanation, however, is that the troubles in Corinth had arisen when the bishop of that congregation had died, and the congregation had split into factions, none containing both a majority of the presbyters and a majority of the congregation. |

| | Clement's letter to the Corinthians continued to be read in the Corinthian church as part of the liturgy for many years. | | | Clement's letter is permeated with Scriptural references (at least 150 quotes from both the Old and New Testaments), and he skillfully wove the Scriptural quotes together to encourage the Corinthians to return to their holy calling, to "attend to what is good, pleasing, and acceptable in the sight of Him who formed us." | | | Clement then encouraged the young men in Corinth to repent of their strife and disruption which had discouraged many within the church. |

He may also be, as the Roman missal supposes, the Clement mentioned by St Paul in his epistle to the Philippians. | | | Third in succession to St Peter, Clement wrote a letter in the name of the church of Rome to the church of Corinth exhorting, indeed commanding, a return to obedience. |
