Linus being the second appointed after Peter is based on Irenaeus and some question if Irenaeus’ Apostolic Tradition is or was accurate.

I will look this up, thank you for pointing this out.

Every time I read and think about Linus I keep getting this thought coming into my mind, that Linus wasn't any of what history now claims. In other words, revisionist history. Centuries after the Apostles were killed, those creating what is now the Catholic church, claimed that the Bishop of Rome is the Pope. Rome being the seat of power. So they back filled the position of Pope with every Bishop that was over the Church in Rome.

So my argument is against the revisionist version of Linus and probably not the real Linus. If that makes sense?
