Wow. That's profound. Can I use this? :-)
My purpose in posting this thread was to provide the archaelogical background on St. Peter's. How unfortunate that some guests have used it as an opportunity to bash the Catholic Church. Catholic freepers show respect for those from other religious denominations. Yet those who profess to be christians, use certain threads to launch salvos at catholic freepers. Perhaps you mothers never taught you proper christian manners: "If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all."
