Synagogues in Rome Latium
Rome
– it is said- has 901 churches and is 99% Catholic,
even if only the 3% of the Romans regularly attend mass.
Since the
3rd century, the Jews have tenuously hung on to second
place; followed now perhaps by the Anglicans.
The most
recent newcomers are the Muslims, who have a wacky
new mosque by Villa Ada designed by post-modern
architect, Paolo Portoghesi.
Although
the four Patriarchal basilicas (St Peter’s,
San Paul’s outside the walls, St Maria Maggiore,
St. john Lateran) are open every day, every other
church closes in the afternoon (usually 12-4 or 5
pm).
As a rule,
don’t enter if a service is in progress at the high altar;
otherwise be discreet and walk around the chapel in use.
If the sacristan
opens a chapel or crypt for you, give him
a small tip .coin-operated light machines illuminate the
most important works; often a pair of opera glasses or binoculars
comes in handy to see a lofty mosaic or fresco.
When Pope
Benedict XVI is in Rome, general papal audience
are held on Wednesdays at 11 am in the
auditorium or in St Peter’s Square; in July
and August the audiences are usually held
in Castel Gandolfo.

the papal Audience get in contact with
