Talk:Clement of Alexandria

message: Hi there,
Does anyone know if St. Clements cake is anything to do with this article or related to the saints?
Thanks
:More likely that is Saint Clement of Rome, who has always been a more popular saint. Rwflammang (talk) 18:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

message: More than that, this article needs to deal with the fact that Clement, after a thousand years of sainthood, was repudiated on grounds of heresy.

message: I think that icon is of Clement of Rome. I had contacted skete.com which sells the icon currently pictured inquiring as to which Clement it is; they told me that it is indeed Clement of Rome. I have been unable to find any icons of Clement of Alexandria. Thus, I am going to remove the icon from this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.237.94.135 (talk) 14:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: :Dear JaafarAbuTarab! About
::Clement was a chaotic and untrustworthy author -- there are good reasons why the Church "de-sainted" him in the 16th century.
:why don't you add a section about some popes "de-sainting" Clement, and add their reasons for doing so. About the rest: the discussion pages are not areas for discussing the topic (Clement), but whether the article correctly reflects the state of the art knowledge about the topic (does everybody else claim what the article claims about Clement). So if you dislike the article, find some external sources that you may cite, and rewrite the article in a neutral tone (so called objectively). Said: Rursus 19:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  His significance for the Church 

message: I do not believe it is accurate to characterize Stromata as part of a trilogy. "Because Clement refers in the opening of the Paedagogus to his intention to write a trilogy consisting of Protrepticus, Paedagogus, and Didasculus, and no work by the latter title is known, some earlier scholars considered the Stromateis to be the conclusion of this trilogy. This view is now rejected. No one considers Stromateis to follow the two earlier works in any kind of logical sequence." Heine, Ronald E. "The Alexandrians."

message: Was St. Clement a saint?
And if so what was he the patron saint of?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.255.144.81 (talk) 14:23, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  St. Clement 

message: In the article as it currently stands, we see that his name was removed from the Roman Martyrology in 1586. Later in the reign of Clement VIII, we read that his commemoration was removed from the calendar. We also learn that he was regarded as a saint until the 17th century.
In the infobox, we read that his cult was suppressed in 1586, the same year the Roman Martyrology was revised. We also read that his feast is celebrated by Eastern Catholics on a day different from Eastern Orthodox, which is pretty unusual; this different day just happens to be the day he used to be commemorated in the Roman rite. It seems to me we have some conflation of dates here. 
Despite having a feast day in Eastern Orthodoxy, he was denounced by Photius the Great. The article says he both is and is not venerated by the Orthodox.
It seems to me we need a few references:
* A reference to an Eastern Orthodox liturgical book giving the day of his celebration
* Ditto for an Eastern Catholic liturgical book
* Ditto for the Anglicans
* Some references describing exactly what Sixtus V, Clement VIII, and Benedict XIV did to discourage or not encourage his cult.
I'll see what I can dig up. Rwflammang (talk) 14:20, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

message: there's a contradiction in the page: it claims that Clement was venerated as a Saint by the Catholic Church "until the 17th century", but it also claims that its cult was suppressed by Pope Sixtus V, who lived in the 16th century. The page also states that his name was dropped from the calendar by Pope Clement VIII, but he also lived in the 16th century.-Karma1998 (talk) 20:48, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
