In less than 200 years, Christianity went from being a minor sect in Imperial Rome to preeminence in Italy and the Roman Empire. What was it about Italy that was so fertile for Catholicism? What allowed the Vatican to surpass every other church in terms of doctrine and loyalty, becoming the center of the Christian world? To delve deeper into Catholicism, journey to the cities, towns and parishes that molded the faith – Rome and the Vatican, Viterbo, Bolsena, Orvieto, Spello, Assisi and Loreto. Here, in this ancient land, on paths trodden by saints, in soaring cathedrals carved from stone, you will find the gospel writ large, in oil paint and marble and mystical stillness. In this sunny land the seeds of Christianity were planted and they thrived. Journey with us to touch this ethereal mystery.
