Biography
Saint Clement of Rome (died c. 99) was the fourth pope, an apostolic father who had known the apostles. His Letter to the Corinthians, written to heal a division in that church, is among the earliest Christian writings outside the New Testament and a witness to the early authority of Rome. Tradition holds he was martyred by being cast into the sea.
