| | Ancient Rome was built on the east, or left, bank of the Tiber on elevations (now much less prominent) emerging from the marshy lowlands of the Campagna. | | | Papal elections, originally exercised by the citizens of Rome, had come under the control of the great noble families, among whom the Frangipani and Pierleone families and later the Orsini and the Colonna were the most powerful. | | | There were many periods in the first three centuries when Christians worshiped openly, even in Rome, where the catacombs housed not only graves but also churches. |

| | Two branches of European Judaism developed during the Middle Ages: the Sephardic, based in Spain and with an affinity to Babylonian Jews; and the Ashkenazic, based in Franco-German lands and affiliated with Rome and Palestine. | | | Judaism is the oldest of the monotheistic faiths. | | | Conservative Judaism, which developed in the mid-18th century, holds the Talmud to be authoritative and follows most traditional practices, yet tries to make Judaism relevant for each generation, believing that change and tradition can complement each other. |

| | Just as the Pope of Rome sits on the throne of St. Peter, the Armenian Catholicos in Holy Etchmiadzin, according to the expression of the ancient historian Movses Khorenats'i, "sits on the throne of Thaddeus." Thus he is "father and head" of the Armenian Church. | | | "By the most ancient tradition of the Church, the Patriarchs of the Eastern Churches are to be accorded special honor, seeing that each is set over his patriarchate as father and head." | | | Just as St. Peter held the primacy among the other Holy Apostles so too does St. Peter's successor hold a primacy among the Apostles' successors: the Patriarchs and bishops. |

| | The Ruthenian Catholic Church |
| | The Byzantine Catholic Church is an Eastern Church in union with Rome; Carpatho-Rusyn in background and flavor, but indeed an American Eastern Church celebrating the Gospel in words, symbols, and action. | | | Despite this sad turn of events, the American Greek Catholics in union with Rome continued to grow and establish new parishes; and, in 1950, Saints Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary was established by the second Bishop of Pittsburgh, Daniel Ivancho, for the spiritual and educational formation of a native clergy. | | | The term "Greek Catholic" would change to "Byzantine Catholic," stressing that the church was not Hellenic (Greek) in nationality, and that the spirituality and liturgical services were of the Byzantine Rite; also, English, now the vernacular, became the dominant liturgical language. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Linus |
| | It cannot be doubted that according to the accounts of Irenaeus concerning the Roman Church in the second century, Linus was chosen to be head of the community of Christians in Rome, after the death of the Apostle. | | | The explanation given by Severano of this discovery ("Memorie delle sette chiese di Roma", Rome, 1630, 120) is that probably these sarcophagi contained the remains of the first Roman bishops, and that the one bearing that inscription was Linus's burial place. | | | We cannot be positive whether this identification of the pope as being the Linus mentioned in II Timothy 4:21, goes back to an ancient and reliable source, or originated later on account of the similarity of the name. |

| | The Ancient Catholic Church of the Netherlands is closely related to the Old Catholic Church, and the Liberal Catholic Church, and can be said to be the ancestor of both. | | | Perhaps the most fundamental positions of the Ancient Catholic Church are its claim to Apostolic succession directly back to Christ, and to being legally separate from the Roman Catholic Church. | | | In 1870 Vatican I was convened, and the bishops of the Church of Utrecht, not recognized by the Church in Rome, were refused seats, because they were not not seen as being Roman Catholic. |
