| | 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. |

| | Pope Clement V |
| | From the very day of Clement's coronation, the king had charged the Templars with heresy, immorality and abuses, and the scruples of the pope were compromised by a growing sense that the burgeoning French State might not wait for the Church, but would proceed independently. | | | For his part, Clement absolved all the participants in the abduction of Boniface at Anagni. | | | The pope abolished the order anyway, as it seemed to be in bad repute and had outlived its usefulness as Papal bankers and protectors of pilgrims in the East. |

| | The fable that Pope Clement advised the execution of the unfortunate prince by saying "The death or life of Conradin means the life or death of Charles", is of a later date, and opposed to the truth. | | | Charles, preceding his army, came to Rome by sea, and upon the conclusion of a treaty, by which the liberties of the Church and the overlordship of the Holy See seemed to be most firmly secured, he received the investiture of his new kingdom. | | | The Neapolitan question occupied, almost exclusively, the thoughts of Clement IV during his short pontificate of 3 years, 9 months, and 25 days, which, however, witnessed the two decisive battles of Benevento and Tagliacozzo (1268), and the execution of Conradin. |

| | Clement, by the bull Sanctissimus, declared the duchy of Ferrara restored to the Holy See, because, in addition to all other reasons, by the terms of a constitution of Saint Pius V it was forbidden to alienate the property of the Church. | | | One of the most glorious works of the pontificate of Clement VIII was, doubtless, the union of the duchy of Ferrara to the States of the Holy See. | | | Clement extended that privilege to all religious orders, especially the mendicants, so illustrious for their doctrinal purity and their piety. |

He may also be, as the Roman missal supposes, the Clement mentioned by St Paul in his epistle to the Philippians. | | | This Clement, the donor, and legal owner of the property, cannot have been the first century saint; but by the time of Pope Siricius (384-399) he had been identified with him. |

| | 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. | | | The Epistle of Clement to The Corinthians (also called I Clement) can be found in collections of the writings of the Apostolic Fathers, such as the Penguin Paperback Early Christian Writings, translated by Maxwell Staniforth. | | | 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. |
