The Center of Catholicism

St. Peter's Basilica in Rome is the symbolic center of Catholicism although you could make the case that the cathedral is the center it doesn't really matter they're very close together. People who burn flags think well there are times to dramatize the idea that the center has been corrupt and you can demonstrate that by putting it to the torch. The center is absolutely necessary and is sacred and is almost always also corrupt and in need of reparation That's a useful thing to know because young people in particular tend to think that well the world's going to hell in a hand basket.
