	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. James the Less
		The James (5) of Jude 1:1 must certainly be identified with James (3), the brother of the Lord and the Bishop of Jerusalem.
		This identification requires the identity of Mary, the mother of James (Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40), with Mary the wife of Cleophas (John 19:25), and, consequently, the identity of Alpheus (2) and Clopas (4).
		James was called to the Apostolate with his brother Jude; in all the four lists of the Apostles, he stands at the head of the third group (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13).

	James the Just
		James was the bishop of Jerusalem, the oldest of Jesus' half brothers and early recognized as the most prominent overseer of the Jerusalem Church.
		James was always distinguished as "the brother of the Lord." In the East it would have been the natural and the accepted thing for the next brother to take on the work and the task of an elder brother who had been killed.
		James was certainly not a Judaizer, at the time of the Jerusalem Council he distinctly recognized the legitimacy of Gentile Christianity, and gave his approval to the work of Paul.

	St. James the Less
		James, to distinguish him from the other apostle of the same name, the son of Zebedee, was called the Less; which appellation is supposed to have taken its rise, either from his having been called later to the apostleship than the former, or from the lowness of his stature, or from his youth.
		Jesus came with his brethren, and probably St. James among the rest, to settle in Capharnaum, at the beginning of his ministry.2 James and his brother Jude were called to the apostleship in the second year of Christ's preaching, soon after the Pasch, in the year 31.
		James governed that church in perpetual dangers, from the fury of the people and their violent persecutions; but his singular virtue procured him the veneration of the Jews themselves.

	Philip and James, Apostles

		It is tempting to identify James the son of Alphaeus (2) with James the son of Cleopas (5) by supposing that "Cleopas" and "Alphaeus" are two different attempts to reproduce the same Semitic name (probably beginning with an Ayin) in Greek, but linguists mostly think this very doubtful.
		James son of Cleopas is called James the Less (Minor, Younger) in Mark 15:40, and James Son of Alphaeus is also called James the Less in popular usage, partly because the two are assumed to be the same, and partly because of the need to distinguish the two Apostles both named James.
