Saint '''Clement I''', [[Pope]] and [[martyr]], was a [[Roman]], also known as '''[[Clement of Rome]]''' ''Clemens Romanus'', so as not to be confused with the 3rd century Clement of Alexandria<ref>[http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/clement.html Clement of Alexandria - Early Christian Writings (182-202) (earlychristianwritings.com)]</ref>. He was elected [[Bishop of Rome]] in 88, the third successor after the martyrdom of [[Saint Peter]]. He succeeded [[Pope Anacletus|Saint Cletus]] as pope from 88 to 97, or from 92 to 101, and is considered to be the first of the three chief [[Apostolic Fathers]] of the Church, together with [[Polycarp of Smyrna]] and [[Ignatius of Antioch]].

Bishop Saint [[Irenaeus of Lyons]] lists Saint Clement as a contemporary of the Apostles and witness of their preaching. According to tradition he was probably a freed man in the imperial household and was baptized by St. Peter. [[Origen]] identifies him as working with Saint Paul the Apostle as Paul's "fellow-labourer", and so do Eusebius, Epiphanius, and [[Jerome]], but this Clement with Paul (Philippians 4:3) was probably a Philippian.
