Saint Clement\u2019s Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clement of Rome was the third successor of Saint Peter, reigning as pope during the last decade of the first century. He\u2019s known as one of the Church\u2019s five \u201cApostolic Fathers,\u201d those who provided a direct link between the Apostles and later generations of Church Fathers.<\/p>\n

Clement\u2019s\u00a0First Epistle to the Corinthians\u00a0<\/em>was preserved and widely read in the early Church. This letter from the bishop of Rome to the Church in Corinth concerns a split that alienated a large number of the laity from the clergy. Deploring the unauthorized and unjustifiable division in the Corinthian community, Clement urged charity to heal the rift.<\/p>\n

\n

Reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today many in the Church experience polarization regarding worship, how we speak of God, and other issues. We\u2019d do well to take to heart the exhortation from Clement\u2019s\u00a0Epistle<\/em>: \u201cCharity unites us to God. It knows no schism, does not rebel, does all things in concord. In charity all the elect of God have been made perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rome\u2019s Basilica of St. Clement, one of the city\u2019s earliest parish churches, is probably built on the site of Clement\u2019s home. History tells us that Pope Clement was martyred either in the year 99 or in 101. His liturgical feast is celebrated on November 23.<\/p>\n
