Why Rome?
Why does the Catholic Church make such a big deal about a city that is barely mentioned in Scripture, and when it is, often derogatorily?

One hallmark of a Jubilee Year is pilgrimage to the four Major Papal Basilicas. Since the beginning, pilgrimage to the tombs of Peter and Paul was the emphasis of the Christian faithful’s penitential pilgrimage to Rome.
Pope Francis has officially announced the Jubilee! While it was no secret that 2025 would be a Jubilee Year, in keeping with the tradition that they occur every 25 years, it was officially announced with the Bull of Indiction “Spes non Confundit,” or “Hope Does Not Disappoint.”
In 2025, Rome will welcome pilgrims from all over the world to celebrate the Jubilee Year.
