According to the Liber Pontificalis, it was Alexander I who inserted the narration of the Last Supper ( the Qui pridie ) into the Catholic celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
However, in the article on Saint Alexander I in the 1907 Catholic Encyclopedia, Thomas Shahan judges this tradition to be inaccurate.
Both Catholic and non-Catholic experts regard this tradition as inaccurate.
It is viewed as a product of the agenda of Liber Pontificalis — this section of the book was probably written in the late fifth century — to show an ancient pattern of the earliest bishops of Rome ruling the church by papal decree.
