St. Clement of Rome - Letter to the Corinthians | Catholic Culture Audiobooks

"But, if some shall disobey the words which have been spoken by Him through us, let them know that they will involve themselves in no small transgression and danger."
This letter is the only extant work by St. Clement of Rome, a 1st-century successor of St. Peter said to have been consecrated by Peter himself.
According to Johannes Quasten, Clement’s Letter to the Corinthians is “the earliest piece of literature outside the New Testament for which the name, position, and date of the author are historically attested.” It illuminates the origins of several Christian doctrines, including those of apostolic succession, Petrine primacy, and the papal office.

What denial must you experience to deny the Church of today is the same as then.

[@walkman1984]

the church that from this day is blessing gay marriages? Clement never was Roman Catholic. He was Christian, the Roman Catholic church as it it's today came centuries after his death, and persecuted, killed and torture the real church. If Clement was alive during and after the 6th century he would be burnt alive by the Roman Catholic persecution. Don't be ignorant of history.
