Pope Clement I also known as Saint Clement of Rome (in Latin, Clemens Romanus), is listed as a Bishop of Rome. He was an Apostolic Father of the Church.
Pupil of John the Apostle, Clement of Rome was also a Bishop of Rome and considered to be the first apostolic father. He wrote a letter to the Corinthians in about 96 AD, although others do place its composition around 70 AD. The only real firmly established date is a range from 75 to 110 AD for the composition of the letter to the Corinth church by Clement of Rome.[1]
