AD 79: Habemus Pointsam! From Linus to Anacletus

from Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World · host Gregg Gassman

It's (probably) 79AD, and Pope Linus is dead, possibly as a martyr in a spot of local persecution. He is succeeded by Cletus, or Anacletus, or Anencletus, or maybe Clement, or possibly Evaristus. Definitely by someone, or several folks. Nero's gone, which is good, but so is the Temple, which is bad.
