Linus, Saint
Pope from about 67 to 76 or 79, who may have been the immediate successor to St. Peter. St. Irenaeus identifies him with the Linus in 2 Timothy 4:21 and writes that �the blessed Apostles passed on the sacred ministry of the episcopacy to Linus.� Although his martyrdom is doubtful, he is among the martyrs named in the canon of the mass.
