The Church is San Clemente in Rome. The Fourth Pope, Pope Clement I, has a feast day on November 23.

Hi Father Kirby! I believe that the church is the Church of San Clemente. He was killed by being thrown into the sea with an anchor round his neck. Angels were said to have made him a tomb on the sea-bed, which is uncovered once a year by an exceptionally low tide.

I think the church is St. Clemente in Rome. A fact is St. Clemente was consecrated by St. Peter.

S. Clemente named after Pope St. Clement. The church is built on what is very likely his “titulus” or house church His letters to the Corinthians are important in showing the pastoral exercise of the Petrine office from the earliest days, in this case, toward the end of the 1st century AD.

S. Clemente is one of my favorite churches in Rome!

I think the Church is Saint Clemente in Rome. My fact is that she may have known the two apostles Peter and Paul.

I think it is the Church of Santa Susanna. Beneath the present floor of the church are the ruins of a Roman house that was constructed about the year 280 AD. These were relatives of the General Gaius Aurelius Diocletian, who would become Emperor in 284 AD.
