Saint Clement (100)

Saint Clement was the fourth Pope.  He reigned in the Catholic Church from the year 90 to 100.  There were four Popes in the first century.  Saint Peter was the first, Saint Linus was the second, Saint Cletus was the third and Saint Clement was the fourth.  These four Popes are mentioned every day in the Canon of the Mass, which is one of the greatest honors that ever can be bestowed on a saint.  Catholic churches are dedicated to Saint Clement everywhere throughout the world.  Saint Clement, as did all the early Popes, shed his blood for the Faith.  He died the same year as Saint John the Evangelist.
