Peter, Paul and the Path to Rome

Today’s memorial of the dedication of the basilicas of Saints Peter and Paul – following upon that of the Lateran Basilica earlier this month – reminds us of the importance of the Church in Rome, as a universal entity, which exists throughout the world as the ‘pillar and bulwark of the truth’, and the path to salvation, and will do so, against the very gates of hell, until the end of time – regardless of who sits upon the chair.

For today’s memorial also calls to mind that the Church, founded by Christ, was established in the world under the leadership and guidance of these two Apostles, collaborators and friends in life and in death, meeting their end in the bloody persecution under the deviant, perverted, anti-Christian emperor Nero, in the precincts of that very city that would be called ‘eternal’. The two basilicas are built over the sites of the martyrdom of the two Apostles, and where their bones now rest until the return of Christ, His parousia and the resurrection of all the dead, unto life, or unto perdition.

Praise the Lord
