> 1) Anacletus, pope (d. ca. 91).... Both this form of his name and the
(pseudo-)Hieronymian Martyrology's 'Aninclitus' are latinizations of Greek
'Anenkletos' ('Blameless')
i did not realize that this is what the name meant.
may i assume that the 12th c. "antipope" Anacletus II (Pietro Pierleoni),
canonically elected shortly after the (later recognized) "pope" Innocent II,
chose his name deliberately, as some kind of Greekizing trump of his
Frangipani rival's "Innocent"?
