    When I first arrived at Lateran I was in complete awe. Everywhere I looked I felt an immense reverence to history. The interior of this church is absolutely monumental. There are enough details to keep you admiring for a life time and more. I still feel deeply connected to this church and longing to come back. This video is amazing! Thanks so much for posting it!

    I attended a Christmas concert there years ago. It was heavily attended, and I believe I was the only American there. How I made it back to my hostel on the other side of town I’ll never know. Wonderful atmosphere!

      Hi, thanks for watching! Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem with the Passion relics is next but after that it will be St Mary Major.

    I thought "Lateran" name came because it is on the side, at the outskirts of town, up against the wall; like the word "lateral".

    I have a correction. The last obolist erected in Rome waa the one from the Ethiopian wars. It was erected by Mussolini across the Boulevard near Circus Maximus. It was returned to Ethiopia in the 2000's.

    Most important for the Roman Catholics. What about the earliest churches in Israel? They predated anything in Rome or Constantinople?

    • @AugustinianThomist
      @AugustinianThomist  3 месяца назад +11

      You are correct, they would be older. The title is a bit vague but in general, since Roman Catholicism is the largest denomination, this church would appeal to the most people as most important. But people can have their own criteria for what is most important. Some can say the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is most important.

      The title describes it as "the most important church", not the oldest. If age alone made something important, my friends and I would be very important - but we're not.

    Silly hype. St Peter”s in Rome is obviously the most important church in Christendom.

      It’s also canonically not. St Peters isn’t an archbasilica but only a major one and its dedication is only an optional memoria shared with St Paul Outside the Walls while St John’s gets a compulsory feast. It’s obviously where your coming from to anyone whose been there but you are technically wrong

      This temple is mainly, and was originally soley, dedicated to Our Lord Jesus Christ per the wish of Emperor Constantine. It is the Cathedral church of the City of Rome. How is St Peter's more important?
