Well, to give you a kind of an idea of the atmosphere that the early apostles went out into, it was brave. It was courageous. This is a martyr business here when they went out because Rome was the world power. And people need to remember that right before Jesus, we had Julius Caesar, who proclaimed himself to be God, and Caesar was worshipped as God. He had an adopted son by the name of Octavian.

Octavian defeated Mark Anthony at the Battle of Actium, came into Rome with the honorary name of Caesar Augustus, and it was said of Caesar Augustus that the Nobody before, during, or after will ever eclipse the glory of Caesar Augustus, who is the son of God, the one who ushered in the Pax Romana, the peace, and the one who has given the euangelion, the good news, to the world.

Yeah, it's a new Rome now, and this is now the shift will move from the Holy Land to Rome as the seat of Peter, and it's like a rebuilding of Rome, which is a sign of a rebuilding of the world. And that's why Rome is very special to us as Catholics. It's not just, oh, they got good wine over there. But it really is the beginning of the new Remus and Romulus, the founders.

If you read, and as people listen to you very carefully, they will notice that
