(LifeSiteNews) — Rome, delivered from slavery by Peter on the first of this month, offers to the world a wonderful spectacle. Truly that was a day of joy, when Mary, in the name of Jesus, claimed her right as sovereign and heiress of the Roman soil! The deserted Pantheon awaited the day when it was to receive the noble and magnificent name of St. Mary ad Martyres. At first it was called by different names, the Liberian basilica, St. Mary at the Crib. What recollections, O Mary, does this feast of thy greatest basilica awaken within us!
