Who was the first Pope-and what do we really know about him? The origins of the Catholic Church are as vast and shadowed as the ancient vaults of the Vatican itself. With over a billion followers worldwide, the Church traces its papal lineage back nearly 2,000 years to Jesus Christ and his apostle, St. Peter. But what happened after Peter's death? Who picked up the mantle-and how clearly can we see the truth? Tradition holds that Pope Linus succeeded Peter as the second Bishop of Rome. But outside of that belief, details become murky. Was Linus truly the first pope after Peter? What role did he play in shaping the early Church? And how much of what we think we know is supported by history versus tradition? In this concise yet thoughtful exploration, we examine the life and legacy of Pope Linus and the earliest days of the Church. Drawing on historical records, Church tradition, and scholarly interpretations, this book offers a window into a period that remains both foundational and mysterious. Whether you're a student of history, a curious Catholic, or someone fascinated by religious origins, this book offers an accessible starting point for understanding the earliest days of the papacy.
