The First Ten Popes


1. St. Peter (33-67)
2. St. Linus (67-76)
3. St. Anacletus (Cletus) (76-88)
4. St. Clement I (88-97)
5. St. Evaristus (97-105)
6. St. Alexander I (105-115)
7. St. Sixtus I (115-125) Also called Xystus I
8. St. Telesphorus (125-136)
9. St. Hyginus (136-140)
10. St. Pius I (140-155)

St. Peter was, of course, Simon Peter, one of the Apostles.

St. Linus may have been the Linus mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:21 - though that is not confirmed.

St. Clement was a follower of St. Peter, and may be the Clement mentioned in Philippians 4:3 

Pax et bonum
