∙ 8y agoWe do not really know who was the fifth pope, or bishop of Rome. Catholic tradition says that Evaristus was the fifth bishop of Rome, and therefore fifth pope. However, 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 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 can have been no Pope Evaristus, although it is conceivable there was a presbyter of than name.
Based on what we now know, the first true, monepiscopal bishop of Rome was probably Pius I or Anicetus, meaning that Victor I (189-199) or Zephyrinus (199-217) might have been the fifth real bishop of Rome. Both are recognised in the Catholic Church as saints.
