Basilicas in this sense are divided into two classes, the greater or patriarchial, and the lesser, basilicas. Major Basilicas. To the former class belong primarily those four great churches of Rome (St. Peter\'s, St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, and St. Paul-without-the-Walls), which among other distinctions have a special \"holy door\" and to which a visit is always prescribed as one of the conditions for gaining the Roman Jubilee. They are also called patriarchial basilicas, seemingly as representative of the great ecclesiastical provinces of the world thus symbolically united in the heart of Christendom. www.newadvent.org/cathen/02325a.htm raczej dużą literą |
