» inform05 - Rome v. Holy Land

In response to Rome v. Holy Land posted by BrianTubbs:


Sorry to have to say it but I think you are 100 percent wrong. Most Catholics know that the Holy Land is the place to be. Not to make light of this whole thing but that's where the big J actually walked, talked, slept and died. Having never been there myself, I can't even imagine the magnitude of walking in a place where Jesus walked. Of pilgrimages, I'd say that is the biggie. But as Catholics, pilgrimages are not limited to the Holy Land. They can include any place where miracles were performed or saints lived. And Rome is more than just about seeing where the Pope lives. Many holy relics are located there (yes I know and I don't want to get into the whole crusades thing right now-I'm too tired-lol). One of the locations is Saint Michael's grotto which we believe was carved out of stone by Michael himself.
I didn't mean to insinuate that Rome is where all Catholics aspire to visit, it's one of them perhaps, but we haven't lost site of THE PILGRIMAGE.
