St. Clement, according to tradition, was ordained by Peter himself. Some early writers, indeed, thought that Clement was Peter's immediate successor, but modern scholars agree that he is Peter's third successor.

ST. CLEMENT OF ROME - English
URL: http://www.lumenverum.com/fathers/clement.htm

We are aware from the writings of Hegesippus, St. Irenaeus of Lyons and Eusebius of Caesarea that St. Clement was the third successor to St. Peter as Bishop of Rome (after Linus and Cletus). The fact that he held such a position of authority is clearly evident in the opening address of his epistle whereby he makes an attempt to heal the ruptures in the Church of Corinth which resulted in insurrection against the bishop and presbyters and their deposition. St. Clement in his epistle is deeply concerned with the sin of pride which he saw as responsible for the jealousy, strife and disorders racking the Corinthians.

Biography: Clement of Rome, bishop (23 Nov 100) - English
URL: http://elvis.rowan.edu/~kilroy/JEK/11/23.html

Clement is counted as the third bishop of Rome (after the apostles). His predecessors are Linus and Cletus (or Anacletus, or Anencletus), about whom almost nothing is known. They are simply names on a list. Clement is a little more than this, chiefly because he wrote a letter to the Corinthians, which was highly valued by the early church, and has been preserved to the present day. The letter itself does not carry his name, but is merely addressed from the congregation at Rome to the congregation at Corinth.

CIN - POPE ST. CLEMENT I - First Century - English
URL: http://www.cin.org/clementi.html

Around the year 100, a faction of Corinthian Christians revolted against the rulers of their church. Third in succession to St Peter, Clement wrote a letter in the name of the church of Rome to the church of Corinth exhorting, indeed commanding, a return to obedience. He takes for granted the primacy of the Roman church and her right to intervene with authority in the affairs of other churches. He insists upon the necessity of discipline and order as witnessed everywhere, from the divine government of the world to the Roman army.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Clement I - English
URL: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04012c.htm

According to Tertullian, writing c. 199, the Roman Church claimed that Clement was ordained by St. Peter (De Praescript., xxxii), and St. Jerome tells us that in his time "most of the Latins" held that Clement was the immediate successor of the Apostle (De viris illustr., xv). St. Jerome himself in several other places follows this opinion, but here he correctly states that Clement was the fourth pope.

Clement was probably a Gentile and a Roman. He seems to have been at Philippi with St. Paul (a.d. 57) when that first-born of the Western churches was passing through great trials of faith. There, with holy women and others, he ministered to the apostle and to the saints. As this city was a Roman colony, we need not inquire how a Roman happened to be there. He was possibly in some public service, and it is not improbable that he had visited Corinth in those days.
