The Lateran Cathedral - Roberto Luciani

The Lateran Cathedral

The papal Archbasilica of St John Lateran is the Cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. There is an historical reason for this, and it has theological consequences. San Giovanni in Laterano was the first Christian church in the West since the public expression of the young and new religion was possible, after the edict of Constantine in 313. This work reconstructs the history of the first church in Christendom and an essential part of the path of Christianity in the world. The Pope’s cathedral has witnessed centuries of faith and devotion; even the many architectural renovations and the works of art that have adorned it along the centuries show an extraordinary religious sensitivity.
