Pope Francis : at Saint Paul's outside the walls...

(Vatican Radio) On Sunday April 7, 2013 Pope Francis took possession of his Cathedral, the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran.
A week later he's to celebrate Holy Mass in another of the four Major Roman Basilicas : Saint Paul’s outside the Walls.
In an effort to find out more about this papal visit and about the significance of this Basilica, Linda Bordoni went round to speak to the Abbott there, Benedictine Edmund Power:
On this occasion Abbott Power highlighted the importance of this visit: "Coming to Saint Paul 's is an essential part of becoming Bishop of Rome because Peter and Paul are the patrons of Rome. They are the basis of the Church of Rome of which he's been elected Bishop. ..The visit to Saint Paul's has not been billed as a taking possession but I suppose more as a recognition of the importance of Paul...In Rome the four major basilicas are called papal basilicas. some people say they collectively form the cathedral or cathedrals of the Bishop of Rome and represent different aspects of the Roman Church and of the papal ministry. ..We are greatly looking forward to celebrating with Pope Francis the Eucharist above the tomb of Paul ...."
