| | John Lateran is the Cathedral of the Bishop of Rome who is also the leader of the Roman Catholic Church and direct successor to Peter, the rock on this earth chosen by Christ. | | | This feast is therefore a symbol of the unity of all Catholic Christians with Peter’s successor. | | | In this way, therefore, St. John Lateran is the “mother of all churches” because of the “spiritual maternity” that goes with the Primacy of Peter, succeeded by John Paul II. |

| | The actual date of the gift is unknown but scholars believe it had to have been during the pontificate of Pope Miltiades, in time to host a synod of bishops in 313 that was convened to challenge the Donatist schism, declaring Donatism as heresy. | | | It was rebuilt by Pope Clement V and Pope John XXII, only to be burnt down once more in 1360, but again rebuilt by Pope Urban V. | | | The church became the most important shrine in honor of the two saints, not often jointly venerated (but see Peruzzi Chapel, Santa Croce, Florence). |

| | Jesus tells the Samaritan woman in today’s gospel text from John 4 that God desires people who will worship him "in Spirit and in truth." God wants the whole world to be lovingly united in the truth of his Son, Jesus Christ. | | | But you see, there is only one Church on the face of the earth that teaches the truth of Jesus Christ in it’s fullness. | | | Most people would probably answer that question by saying, "St. Peter’s"--which would be an understandable response given the fact that the pope& lives nearby. |
