Beautifully put Jack - I work with many young people
and have commended those who have 'laboured with me' over difficult technical
issues. Perhaps one of them will write long after my death about these things
that we have known. We need to put the named into our projections with
imagination.
Dave Hindley's reference may be to Origen who
"identifies Pope Clement with St. Paul's fellow-labourer, Phil., iv, 3, and 80
do Eusebius, Epiphanius, and Jerome- but this Clement was probably a Philippian.
In the middle of the nineteenth century it was the custom to identity the pope
with the consul of 95, T. Flavius Clemens, who was martyred by his first cousin,
the Emperor Domitian, at the end of his consulship. But the ancients never
suggest this, and the pope is said to have lived on till the reign of Trajan. It
is unlikely that he was a member of the imperial family." (from http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04012c.htm)
