The tens of thousands of regular readers of this blog will recall that my wife and I had the opportunity to run into Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Archbishop of Boston, on our first evening in Rome last summer. He was kind enough to give us many suggestions of sites to visit. He strongly urged us to take a "scavi" tour at St. Peter's Basilica. That tour provides the opportunity to get very close to the actual tomb of St. Peter.
Cardinal O'Malley's fondness for St. Peter and his successors is quite obvious in the recent letter to the people of the Archidocese of Boston. It is a wonderful letter that provides a bit of history and a bit of theology. To see a copy of the letter, go to: http://www.rcab.org/News/releases/2008/0804-Papal-Message-English.pdf
