Pope Anacletus
Pope Anacletus (also called
Cletus) was
pope from
76 to
88, the second successor of St.
Peter. He was put to death under the Emperor
Domitian around
91 AD. He was buried near Saint
Linus on the Vatican, where his relics remain.
There is some disagreement among Papal scholars as to whether Anacletus and Cletus are the same person.
Traditionally, Anacletus succeeded Pope Linus and was followed by Pope Clement I.
