  • Clemente is NOT from Rome, otherwise I would have seen him somewhere, although, the city of Rome is considered one of the largest European capitals, and 3,877,212 families live there. It is also the capital of the Republic of Italy. I am from Rome.

    Paul is only canon because of 2 Peter, which is pseudepigraphic.  Therefore Paul basically isn't canon unless canon is open and revelation progressive.  TBH though, 2 Clement is too good to be true and I think it's fake because it's too much in keeping with contemporary liberal values.  You can't just pick and choose that kind of thing.  You have to face that the Bible sometimes says things which are hard to accept or you're just talking to yourself.

    Clement was not an Apostle.......Paul was chosen by Jesus himself to be an Apostle.  However, Clement was a good Christian teacher/theologian.

    How could Clement be a Pope?  He died 150 years before the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church.  And he was not Roman, but Greek.
