  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The streets of Rome and its most emblematic churches come to life in the exhibition “The Seven Churches of Rome,” the Jubilee itinerary captured through the photography of Romualdo Moscioni.

Located inside the Vatican Museums, this exhibition aims to present two paths: the Jubilee year and an itinerary through the seven most prominent churches of Rome.

You will see in this exhibition seven sections, one for each church. The pilgrimage begins at Saint Peter’s, the heart of Christianity, continues at Saint Paul Outside the Walls, and then touches all the most important basilicas—from the Cathedral of Rome, the first and most important basilica of the East, to the three minor basilicas which are the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, Saint Lawrence Outside the Walls, and Saint Sebastian Outside the Walls. It concludes at the heart of Marian devotion par excellence, that is, the Basilica of Saint Mary Major.

The exhibition seeks to bring visitors into the origins of photography, as the pilgrimage images are shown through photographic negatives.
