Evaristus was elected the fifth pope and [[bishop of Rome]] immediately succeeding [[Pope Clement|Saint Clement]] sometime between A.D. 97 and 100, as the fourth successor of St. Peter. Little is known about Evaristus. He was elected during the reign of the Roman Emperor [[Domitian]], the time of the second general persecution, or during the reign of [[Trajan]], and governed the Church for about eight years. Pope Saint Evaristus was pope from about 98 to 105<ref>A.D. 99 to 108 in the Vatican's ''Annuario Pontificio'' of 2003.</ref> It is likely that He was the Bishop of Rome when John the Apostle died, marking the end of the apostolic Age. Given the increase in the number of Christians, he divided the city of [[Rome]] into [[parish]]es. He founded the first seven diaconates entrusted to senior [[priest]]s and this is considered to be the origin of the [[College of Cardinals]]. The "''Liber Pontificalis''" attributes to him the allotment of definite churches as ''tituli'' to the Roman presbyters, and the division of the city into seven ''diaconias'' or deaconries; in this statement, however, critics claim the "''Liber Pontificalis''" arbitrarily refers to the time of Evaristus a later institution of the Roman Church, on the ''a priori'' assumption that an hierarchical structure of [[ecclesiastical government]] in the [[orthodox]] [[catholic]] [[Christianity|Christian]] [[church]] with [[bishop]]s and [[priest]]s did not exist and was impossible in the latter half of the first century through the first half of the second. This assumption has been challenged on the basis of historical documentation. See [[Epistles of Ignatius]].
