| Isn't it a bit anachronistic to refer to Linus as the "Pope" throughout this article? I mean, even the office of bishop wasn't formalized yet in the first century.

That came quite a bit later. ] 02:42, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC) | Isn't it a bit anachronistic to refer to Linus as the "Pope" throughout this article?
