A:

We know almost nothing about Pope Alexander I other than uncertain traditions. It is even possible that a Roman bishop called Alexander did not exist at this time. Francis A. Sullivan SJ (From Apostles to Bishops) says that most scholars are of the opinion that, in spite of Church tradition, the church of Rome was still led by a group of presbyters, and that bishops were not appointed to the church in Rome until later in the second century. In other words, there was probably no Pope Alexander I, but it is possible there was a presbyter of than name. If he existed and was either a presbyter or perhaps even a bishop, he would have devoted his life to God.
