The bottom two panels depict the martyrdoms of Saints Peter and Paul. During the two years that I gave tours of Saint Peter\u2019s Basilica, I always paused in front of the doors to narrate the martyrdoms of the saints before entering. I had a chance to do it again for some of my parishioners.<\/p>\n<p>I really being in Fort Lauderdale even though the trip was short.

I rarely watch the History Channel because so many of its programs aren\u2019t history-related or are about conspiracy theories and the end of the world, yet I was impressed with this two-hour special. It portrays the history of the Church fairly and accurately.<\/p>\n<p>Much stress was given to the history of the relation between the United States and the Vatican, including an interview with the current US ambassador to the Holy See, Miguel Diaz. They were given access to the Pope\u2019s private apartments and they show him watching TV, celebrating Mass, playing the piano and having dinner with my Moral Theology professor. Cardinal Comastri gives a tour of the excavations below the basilica and the crypt level.
