St John Lateran is the oldest of the four patriarchal basilicas in Rome, and the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the pope. It was consecrated in 324 by Pope Sylvester I. As the cathedral of Rome, it stands as the cathedral of the world, the seat of all Christianity. The faithful of Rome are very blessed to have it as their cathedral! It has been the site of five Ecumenical councils and was the home to every pope from Miltiades the African to the time of Clement V’s move to Avignon.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px;
