 There are more than 900 churches in Rome. Most, but not all, of these are Roman Catholic, with some notable Roman Catholic Marian churches. [edit] Ancient ChurchesThe first churches of Rome originated in places where Christians met. They were divided into three categories:
[edit] TituliOnly the tituli were allowed to distribute sacraments. The most important priest in a titulus was given the name of Cardinal. Pope Marcellus I (at the beginning of the 4th century) confirmed that the tituli were the only centres of administration in the Church. In 499 a.d., a synod held by Pope Symmachus listed all the presbyters participating, as well as the tituli who were present at that time.[1]:
[edit] "Seven churches of Rome"It is known that in 336, Pope Julius I had set the number of presbyter cardinals to 28, so that for each day of the week, a different presbyter cardinal would say mass in one of the four major basilicas of Rome, St. Peter's, Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Santa Maria Maggiore, and San Giovanni in Laterano. These four basilicas had no cardinal, since they were under the Pope's direction. The Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano was also the seat of the bishop of Rome. Traditionally, pilgrims were expected to visit all four basilicas, and San Lorenzo fuori le mura, Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, and Santuario della Madonna del Divino Amore which constituted the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome. Before 2000, the seventh church was instead San Sebastiano fuori le mura. [edit] ChurchesThis is a list of churches of Rome cited in Wikipedia articles or with related files on Wikicommons. The churches are grouped according to the time of their initial construction: the dates are those of the first record of each church. The reader, however, should not expect the current fabric of the buildings to reflect that age, since over the centuries most have undergone reconstruction. Almost all the churches will thus appear considerably more recent, and as a patchwork of periods and styles. [edit] 4th century
