What are facts about the first pope?
A:Saint Peter is traditionally considered to be the first pope;Peter is traditionally said to have gone to Rome to lead the church there, as its first bishop, and was executed on the orders of Emperor Nero after appointing Pope Linus as his successor;We now know that the church of Rome was not led by a succesion of bishops until well into the second century (Francis A. Sullivan SJ, From Apostles to Bishops);The first person known to have been a bishop of Rome was Anicetus (157-168 CE).Although the title 'Pope' was not yet used exclusively for the bishop of Rome, Anicetus could be regarded as likely to have been the first pope.
What is the life history of Pope Saint Anacletus?
A:We know nothing certain about Pope Anacletus (also known as Cletus or Anencletus) and can not even be sure whether a person of that name ever lived. If he was a real person, he may have been a freed Roman slave, but other evidence points to him as a Greek. Tradition says that he was bishop of Rome and pope from around 79 to 92 CE, with some saying he was the second pope after Peter, while others say he was the third. However, scholars say that the role of bishop was not established until early in the second century and that Pope Anicetus (c. 157-168) was the first bishop of Rome to use the title of 'Pope' in a sense of special authority. In fact, the latter pope, Anicetus, is the first leader of the Roman Church about whom very much is known at all.The Original Catholic Encyclopedia concedes we know little about the early popes and nothing reliable about their chronology until Pope Anicetus, nearly a century later.
When did Pope Saint Clement I die?
A:Clement I is believed to have died in 99 CE.

It is thought that Anicetus was the first bishop of Rome to use the title of 'Pope' in a sense of special authority.
