How uncertain the table of the early Roman bishops is, may be seen by comparing it with the catalogue, given in Alzo;
Jlandbnch der Kirchenyeschichte (9th ed. 1872), a work probably more extensively used as
text-book of Church history than any other Roman Catholic's work. It gives (ii, G49) the catalogue of the lirst Roman bishops, as follows :
St. Peter, 42-67 or 68.
" Linus.
" Anacletus (or Cletus).
" Clement I, 92-101.
" Evaristus.
" Alexander, until 119.
" Xvstus or Sixtus, until
127. " Telesphorns, 127-139. " Hygin us, 139-142. " Pius 1,142-157. " Aniceius, 157-1GS. " Soter, 168-177. " Eleutherius, 177-192. " Victor, 192-202. " Zephyriuns, 202-219. " Callistus, 219-223. " Urbanus 223-230. " Poutianus, 230-235.
St. All terns, 235-23G. " Fabian us, 23G-250. " Cornelius, 251-252. " Lucius, 253. " Stephen I, 253-257. " Xvstus or Sixtus II, 2
25S. " Dionvsius, 259-2G9. " Felix I, 209-274. " Eutychianus, 274-2S3. " Cains, 283-296. " Marcellinus, until 304. " Marcellus, 30S-310. " Ensebins, 310. "• Melehiarles, 311-314. " Sylvester I, 314-335. " Marcus. 336. " Julius I, 337-352. Liberius, 352-366.
Felix, 355 {antipope). It will be seen that, according to this list, one of the Roman bishops, whom the Roman list calls St. Felix If, was neither a saint nor even a legitimate pope.
In the Roman list of popes, 80 are enumerated as saints, 4 as blessed, and 32 as martyrs. In regard to their nationality, 14 were Frenchmen, 11 Greeks, 6 Ger- mans, 6 Syrians and natives of Asia Minor, 3 Africans, 3 Spaniards, 2 Dalmatians, 1 Thracian, 1 Englishman, 1 Portuguese, 1 Dutchman; all the remainder were Ital- ians. The last non-Italian pope was Adrian VI (1522- 23); the last saint, St. Pius V (1566-72). As the Ro- man legend claimed that the apostle Peter had been 25 years bishop of Rome, although it is very doubtful whether he ever even visited Rome [see Peter], a be- lief gained ground within the Church that no pope would reign 25 years until the last, under whom the world would come to an end; but the pontificate of Pius IX, which in 1877 had already lasted 31 years, put an end to this tradition. Besides Pius IX, only the following nine popes reigned 20 years or more: Syl- vester I, 23 years; Leo I. 21; Adrian I, 23; Leo III, 20; Alexander III, 21; Urban VIII, 20; Clement XI, 20; Pius VI, 24; Pius VII, 23. Sixty -four popes reigned from 10 to 20 years each; and forty-five reigned each less than one year.
