1 answer


There has never been a Hebrew pope. However, there is a legend about a Christian Pope who might have had Jewish ancestry. This legend is sometimes associated with Antipope Anacletus II or with Pope Alexander III.

1 answer


The first two successors of St. Peter as the head of the Universal Church were St. Linus, who served as pope from around 67 to 76 AD, and St. Anacletus (or St. Cletus), who served as pope from around 76 to 88 AD.

Catholic tradition is uncertain on the spelling: Cletusor Anacletus, because the earliest traditions of church leadership were oral only. In fact, Francis A. Sullivan SJ (From Apostles to Bishops) says that most scholars are of the opinion that, in spite of these traditions, the early 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 Linus, nor either a Pope Cletus or Pope Anacletus, although it is just possible there was a presbyter with a name similar to one of these

Catholic Answer
Although there is some confusion as to whether he was the 3rd or 4th leader of the Catholic faith, tradition holds that he died as a martyr. Some early documents state that Cletus and Anacletus were one and the same while other sources state that they were two distinct individuals.

St. Peter, Jude's fellow Apostle, was the first Pope. Pope Linus succeeded St. Peter, & then Anacletus. I do not know when St. Jude died, but most likely within the lives of the first 3. At the very least, the first one(Peter).

The Catholic Church teaches that Pope St. Cletus (also known as Anacletus or Anencletus) was the third bishop of Rome and assumes that he died a martyr in Rome. In practice, we really know nothing about Pope Cletus and can not even be sure whether a person of that name ever lived.

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.
