About this listen

 In the twilight of first-century Rome, the early papacy emerges as a historical mystery. This episode examines the contested evidence surrounding Peter's immediate successors – Linus, Anacletus, and Clement – whose leadership established the foundations of papal succession amid persecution and uncertainty. Archaeological discoveries, contradictory ancient lists, and later hagiographies reveal both the fragility and resilience of Christianity's earliest leadership structure as it evolved from charismatic movement to institutional church.
